After graduating high school, Frank Spadone had some difficulty deciding what he wanted to do as a career. His love of photography led him to attend Humber College’s photography program. Strangely enough, this led to Frank being a comedian today.

Frank started working for some of the top photographers in the country after finishing college. One thing became very clear – Frank had a knack for entertaining the crew on these shoots. Whether it was telling stories about his family, imitating the models, or making fun of himself, he always had everyone laughing. Photographers began to hire Frank – not only for his photography skills but also his entertaining, sometimes at the request of the clients.

It was on one of these shoots that one of the models started telling Frank that he should take his comedy to the clubs. Frank began contemplating it. After visiting a few local comedy clubs he decided to give it a try.

On March 18, 1997, Frank stepped on stage for the first time as a stand-up comic. He didn’t tell many people about it and there were just a few select friends in the audience. He was on stage for only five minutes, but those five minutes told everyone in the room that this guy truly had something special.

He continued working amateur and open mic nights in Toronto, constantly building his material and starting to create a buzz. In less than a year he would perform in his first professional spot. Soon he was headlining at the top comedy clubs in Toronto and then taking his act to many other cities across Canada. He continued honing his craft, graduating from improv classes at Second City and still takes many advanced improv and acting classes.

Frank Spadone is available for corporate events, private shows, milestone celebrations (birthday, anniversary), fundraisers, festivals, and more.
