The Doo Wops

Congratulations to The Doo Wops for their nomination at the Canadian Comedy Awards 2008 in the category of Taped Live Performance! 

New CD and DVD "Almost Nearly Recognizable" can now be purchased on the official website!

In their eight years, The Wops - John "Crazy Legs" Catucci and Dave "Crazy Legs" Mesiano - have blended song and satire to take the Canadian comedy scene by storm. Pairing up while students at York University, they quickly realized they shared more than a common cultural heritage, love of comedy and distrust of low to mid-level authority figures. After three litres of Chinese cooking wine the next step became obvious - they needed to develop an act and hit the alternative comedy stages of Toronto. Grabbing stage time at such venues as the Tim Sims Playhouse, Clinton's Pirate Video Cabaret and the legendary ALT.COMedy Lounge, the Wops quickly earned a rep as one of the tightest and most innovative acts in town.

As Aregentinean buskers Pepe Sanchez and Jose Louis Riviera, THe Wops take rock classics; modern alternative radio standards and puff pop tunes and twist them until they sound like the Gipsy Kings on mescaline.

In 2001 The Doo Wops won the Canadian wide Just for Laughs Homegrown Comic Competition. Shortly after that they taped their first hour long comedy special "Comedy NOW!" for CTV and The Comedy Network, which was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award.

 Over the last couple years they have performed all over the world including The Melbourne Comedy Festival in Australia, The World Stands Up Show in the U.K., which aired on the BBC and BBC America, and have toured across North America with the Just for Laughs Comedy Tour, Wiseguys Tour, and Monsters of Comedy Tour. They have also appeared numerous times at the festival in Montreal and were recently nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award for their gala performance.
