Award-Winning Musical Comedian Stephen Sorrentino to Play Iridium, 1/13

Award-winning comedian, singer, musician, impressionist, STEPHEN SORRENTINO will bring his one-man show to Iridium NYC, for ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY, Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at 8pm.

"The Boss"- Bruce Springsteen - referred to his cousin STEPHEN SORRENTINO as "talented as hell!" Throughout his career, comedian Stephen has brought audiences to hysterics with his quick-witted humor, masterful musicianship & expert showmanship that can only be cultivated with a family tree that has proved legendary. Sorrentino has shared the stage with superstars such as Patti LaBelle, Dennis Miller, Dana Carvey, The Smothers Brothers, Larry "The Cable Guy" & for the past 4 years, toured with the legendary Debbie Reynolds.

As a 3rd generation performer, this Long Island native always knew that he wanted to pursue a career in music & theatre. Learning to play piano, sax, flute & guitar at a young age, Stephen first stepped on stage at the age of 5 singing with his grandfather. By the sixth grade, he was doing mock "Tonight Shows," where a friend would host & the young Sorrentino would portray all the other guest stars on the show.

During high school & college, Sorrentino was involved in musical theatre & began studying musical composition, eventually landing a publishing deal with Famous Music/Paramount as a performer/singer/songwriter.

Sorrentino's career eventually evolved due to his incredible talent for mimicry, earning him the title of #1 Elton John Impersonator world-wide & he began long-term tours with companies such as Disney, Dick Clark & Legends in Concert.

His Second City training, working directly with creator Martin de Maat, would help to cement him as a major force on stage as well as in front of cameras, where he has appeared in 22 films & TV shows, such as "America's Most Wanted," "The Jimmy Kimmel Show," "Larry, The Cable Guy's Only in America," "Eden's World" & "Hollywood Squares," as well as dozens of radio & TV talk shows & more than 50 TV commercials.

Sorrentino's Las Vegas & Atlantic City appearances have included The Paris, Riviera, Golden Nugget, Taj Mahal, Hilton, Cosmopolitan, Tropicana & Bellagio Casinos. He was named "Male Impressionist of the Year" by the International Guild of Celebrity Impersonators & Tribute Acts (IGCITA), for three years in a row in Las Vegas. He is currently in production with his new reality show, due this spring.
