Vincent Arcuri
Vincent Arcuri produces HOLLYWOOD CONFIDENTIAL, a nationally syndicated radio program hosted by TV/Radio personality Leeza Gibbons. Lucky for us he's stepping out from behind the microphone to center stage in the upcoming show, BECOMING BUTCH. Vincent chronicles his life from his childhood in the rough and rugged world of Queens to his move to West Hollywood living amongst the queens. Along the way, he discovered his own beat and found his own voice (after months of speech lessons to "eliminate the flame while still keeping the spark") and redefined what it truly means to become butch. Growing up in the boisterously butch world of Queens, New York, Vincent marched or rather cheered to the beat of his own drum. While most boys his age idolized athletes and action heroes, Vincent worshiped pint-sized sitcom star Gary Coleman and the devilish divas of Dynasty. Check out BECOMING BUTCH live at the ACME Comedy Theatre in Los Angeles Thursday evenings - March 19th, 26th and April 2nd & 9th.
