Summary

I talked to Comedian Anthony Devito about finding out his dad was a made guy in the mob before they found him shot many times in the trunk of a car. Also about coming to terms with his dad's violent lifestyle and how to articulate it on stage at his solo show this November 13th and Union Hall.
