SICC ALUMNI DANNY MARTINELLO RELEASES DEBUT FULL-LENGTH COMEDY ALBUM – STARTING SOBER

[Toronto, ON December 4, 2023]  STARTING SOBER for award-winning comedian Danny Martinello brought with it a restored sense of confidence in life, including a whole new set of enhanced material. It seemed only logical for him to record and release his first full-length album, which he dedicated to those who had his back when he decided to put down the bottle. Martinello’s no-off-limits, hi-octane style of comedy makes him one of Canada’s freshest acts to watch today. Delivered with machine gun-like accuracy, his 14-track debut LP STARTING SOBER takes the audience on a hilarious journey from jaywalking, to sharing washrooms and defining sobriety.

“Danny is one of the most influential performers when it comes to young comedians on the scene today.  STARTING SOBER is an example of why he is so relatable to audiences worldwide – it captures his character perfectly, and the excitement that he brings to a live performance,” says Album Producer Tyler Morrison.

Winner of the prestigious Seattle International Comedy Competition (SICC) and  Interrobang’s “10 Canadians That Killed Comedy” list in 2021, the Edmonton-born actor/comedian has made TV appearances on CBC, CTV, and NBC, in addition to opening on stage for Bobby Lee, Jon Dore, Harland Williams, and Jay Pharoah at the world-famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles.

“Martinello, whose style can best be described as Jim Carey’s wild stepson from Alberta, makes it look easy.”  ~Marty Young, Interrobang

STARTING SOBER IS available now on all streaming platforms.
