The Bonkerz Seal of Approval
Google defines Seal of Approval as a status or a recognition given to a product, service, or concept that meets certain criteria created by an organization or person.
The Bonkerz Seal of Approval is required before any comic can work for Bonkerz. These requirements include a commitment to professionalism, as well as providing a great experience for the audience. Bonkerz’ comics are given an itinerary for each venue that outlines show times, content requirements, contact information, lodging details and even a minimum time frame they must appear at the venue before the show.
Bonkerz’ comics typically work multiple Bonkerz venues every year. Some of our headlining comedians work as much as half of their calendar year just working for us. Their actions at each of our venues relates to their employment at all of our venues. Doing a good job in one location is how they earn the opportunity to work all of our locations. The converse is also true, so you can rest assured that the Bonkerz Seal of Approval is not easily earned and something that comics must maintain in order to perform at any and all Bonkerz locations.

Micael Vitiello
Michael Vitiello is an Italian American actor, comedian, and musician from the east coast.
Tough Guy
Michael was born in the tough streets of the Bronx. However, he was raised in the not-so-tough streets of Westchester, NY. His humor stems from his family, his traditional Italian upbringing and trying to be a tough Italian guy who grew up in the suburbs of New York. He spent a year in New York City doing local plays and musicals after studying theater in college. Later he was contracted for a season in a musical theater company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Television
Michael decided to migrate to Los Angeles on the west coast to get into film and television, after he finished working in the world of theater on the east coast. He attended the Groundlings School of Improv while in LA -the same school where legendary comedians graduated from and moved on to land roles in classic television shows like SNL and Mad TV. Michael’s latest television credits include appearing in season two of TBS’s Angie Tribeca as Officer Stirelli. He also got mauled by a pit bull in Spike TV’s, 1000 Ways to Die. He was the national spokesperson for DynaPep Energy Shot, appeared in promos for the 2011 World Series, ESPN, Fox Sports, and even a couple of those cheesy local car commercials.

After performing in the LA comedy scene for a while, Michael was noticed by Andrew Dice Clay. Following that encounter, Bonkerz Comedy Productions picked him up to perform in the Guido’s of Comedy. He and his fellow Guido performed nightly in the legendary Plaza Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. In addition, he had the honor of opening for Louie Anderson for one of those shows.
