Eric D’Alessandro always knew all roads would lead to comedy. “It’s just kind of an extension of trying to not make my childhood end,” said the 32-year-old former resident of Westerleigh. “My friends and I would mess around all day, all my friends were so funny. We loved making jokes.

We loved studying comedians and watching comedy together and always, you know, doing something. “It was always my goal to be in comedy, I just wanted to have a job that made me have fun, and feel like I was a kid still.”
