After graduating high school, Frank Spadone had some difficulty deciding what he wanted to do as a career. His love of photography led him to attend Humber College's photography program. Strangely enough, this led to Frank being a comedian today.

Frank started working for some of the top photographers in the country after finishing college. One thing became very clear, Frank had a knack for entertaining the crew on these shoots. Whether it was telling stories about his family, imitating the models, or making fun of himself, Frank always had everyone laughing. Photographers began to hire Frank for not only his photography ability but also his entertaining ability, sometimes at the request of the clients. It was on one of these shoots that one of the models started telling Frank that he should take his comedy to the clubs. Frank began contemplating it. After visiting a few local comedy clubs he decided to give it a try.

On March 18, 1997, Frank stepped on stage for the first time as a stand-up comic. He didn't tell many people about it and there were just a few select friends in the audience. He was on stage for only five minutes, but those five minutes told everyone in the room that this guy truly had something special. He continued working amateur and open mic nights in Toronto, constantly building his material and starting to create a buzz. In less than a year he would perform in his first professional spot. Soon he was headlining at the top comedy clubs in Toronto and then taking his act to many other cities across Canada. He continued honing his craft, graduating from improv classes at Second City and still takes many advanced improv and acting classes.

Frank’s comedy resume includes ten appearances at both Montreal’s and Toronto’s Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and was their exclusive host for the 2010, 22 city Canadian tour. Also in 2010, Frank was one of the only acts to have two Just For Laughs gala performances, aired for television in both North America and in Australia. Needless to say he is a favorite of the most prestigious Comedy Festival in the world.

Due to popular demand his one man stand up comedy show has seen him in repeat sold out soft seater performances in Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton, Ottawa, Vancouver, Detroit and Chicago. In 2008 he toured in Australia and was invited to perform at the Johannesburg Comedy Festival in South Africa. Frank co-produced and starred in Just For Laughs ethnic comedy tour titled The Ethnic Heroes of Comedy in 2007. Frank was also a feature act on the very successful World Cup of Comedy Tour which included dates in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Los Angeles.

Frank’s television and movie credits include: CBC’s The Boarder, The Jane Show, Feature Films Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle’s, The Man starring Eugene Levy and Samuel L. Jackson and Take the Lead with Antonio Banderas to name a few.
