Carolann Valentino, a 15-time award-winning actress, comic, singer, dancer, host, improviser, producer and writer is currently working out of New York City. The Texas native first burst onto the stage in musical theater, leading in such roles as Rizzo in Grease and Diana Morales in A Chorus Line. She mastered the art of stand-up comedy, musical theatre and cabaret in some of NYC’s top clubs: Caroline's On Broadway, Stand Up New York, Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, Cosmopolitan Club and Don’t Tell Mama. Seeking to blend her love for song, dance, comedy and improv, Carolann produced, authored and starred in her solo-musical, If These Ball’s Could Talk (previously titled Burnt at the Steak).

The show received numerous accolades and rave reviews across its sold-out international and off-Broadway tour. Prior to her solo show, Ms. Valentino toured with the all-female comedy troupe “The Italian Chicks," endorsed and produced by Hollywood noteable, the late Danny Aiello. Carolann earned a Best Supporting Actress award at the Philadelphia International Film festival for her role as Evette in the 9-time award-winning feature film, "Casanova Was a Woman."
