Mecurio had a great deal of audience interaction and invited them on stage with him to participate in his act, which was well-received. He opened up about his Italian background, and the stereotypes that come with it. He also described his experience on a checkout line in a store, where he had eight items, and was asked if he wanted a plastic bag for them. Instead, he requested a live octopus to carry one item in each arm.
While at the store, he also asked for an employee discount while working the self-checkout, since he was doing their job for them, and rightfully so.
He also spoke about his dog at home, who would always be annoyed by him, where every time Mecurio would go near him, the dog would go to a different room. He opened up about his wife, and how they met in high school, and concluded his set with his classic jokes about pickles and Vaseline (which was passed down to his by his grandparents, and is left wondering how the manufacturers of Vaseline ever make money).
Mecurio shared that on July 16 he is performing his one-man show “The 4th Wall with Paul Mecurio” at The Jerry Orbach Theater at The Theater Center in New York on Broadway, so he invited his Governor’s Comedy Club audience at Levittown to attend.
He also noted that he had the distinct privilege to interview Paul McCartney for his podcast, and discussed that remarkable experience with the audience.
