Vincent was born in
New Jersey but has lived in Connecticut ever since he turned
ten. Due to an Irish Catholic upbringing, his stage persona
reflects his self-deprecating demeanor as well as a very
conservative view on marriage, kids, politics, sports, travel,
current events, family upbringing, and all other influences
that have forced him to express his hilarious and genuine
observations.
He stays busy with such
things as raising his two boys, coaching Little League,
teaching C.C.D., possibly selling some 1/2" Polycarbonate
sheet, and making his wife the happiest woman in the state of
Connecticut. He continues to travel performing at clubs
all over the country. He is very popular at the corporate
level, where he relies on his experience as a plastics
salesman for "customizing" a company's needs for sales
meetings, fundraisers, retirement dinners, etc. His work is
extensive in political fundraisers, state and town social
functions, and private family parties.
Mr. McElhone's act
has an adult overtone to it but is certainly not considered to
be overboard for the average "American family." Vincent much
prefers an audience whose tastes are for creative humor as
opposed to graphic language.

His first ever stand-up
comedy performance...an open mike night at the famous NY Comedy Club,
in Manhattan, March, 1993. It was a painful experience for everyone,
especially the audience, which is what drove him to improve and
eventually develop his swanky show-biz career. |
