Antoinette Peragine grew up in a very traditional Italian family in Brooklyn, NY. Always the entertainer of the family, she dreamed of a career in showbiz. That dream became a reality after a trip to California with her sister. As she says, she knew she was home the second the plane landed. Antoinette quickly found success in Hollywood as a co-star in films and television. But her true passion has always been in making people laugh. She knew her life had changed when she found herself onstage at the Improv one night. From that moment on, stand-up comedy is what she did, eventually landing her picture on the famous ‘Wall of Fame’ at the Improv alongside the greats like Sinbad, Robin Williams, and Seinfeld to name a few. 

Like so many of us, Antoinette has had to adapt during the global pandemic. But she sees this time as almost a Renaissance of sorts for the entertainment industry as actors/actresses, comedians, and musicians must learn new ways to connect with their audiences. Check out her hit online show, ‘Antoinette and Friends’, who knows who might pop in as a guest!
