Vinnie Coppola’s love affair with the stage began in the fourth grade when he was cast in the school play as the Ghost of Jacob Marley in Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”. This first “landmark” event combined with his incompetence at sports ultimately steered him towards the performing arts.
During his sophomore year at Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL, Vinnie discovered a Thursday night open mic showcase at one of his regular hangouts. A week later, he was performing stand-up comedy on that stage and continued every week after that for close to a full year. He quickly developed a reputation for being creative and highly experimental, and it didn’t take long before he was booking paid spots at local comedy clubs and being hired by area businesses to perform at their corporate events.
His comedy is mostly observational, but from a cynical, uniquely skewed and charmingly naive perspective which can only be described as “Vinnie Coppola”. His persona on stage is his real secret weapon. Vinnie is extremely likable up there and this allows him to connect with an audience instantly. In addition, his twenty-plus years of experience have made him an incredibly versatile performer. Whether it’s a one-night-stand in a bar, the “bluest” of comedy clubs or the G-rated cleanest of corporate shows, Vinnie is consistently successful.
Vinnie is one of the founding members of the Jacksonville, FL Comedy Zone workshop and he helped start the Make-Me-Laugh Monday comedy shows both of which are still going strong to date.
He can be seen in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”, the horror-thriller “Extramundane” on Amazon Prime and in the superhero epic “Samaritan” starring Sylvester Stallone. He has also appeared on The Nashville Network, Comedy Central, The RFD Network’s “Larry’s Country Diner” and Turner South’s “Liars & Legends”. He helped create, develop, write and star in the web series “Mob Men” and you can listen to him every week on his podcast “New Bits With Vac & Vinnie” available on all major platforms.
