Medium bio:

Anthony LeDonne is a New York City–based stand-up comedian, actor, and author. Originally from Tacoma, WA, his act mines small-town roots, big-city adulthood, marrying his high-school sweetheart, choosing to be child-free, and playing “dog dad” to an overweight Pomeranian.

He’s appeared at the New York Comedy Festival and on screen in Hulu’s Basic Skills Challenge; The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon), Billions (Showtime), Chambers and The Good Cop (Netflix), Evil Lives Here, and Epicurious—where millions have watched him cook doughnuts and debate chocolate-chip math. Film work includes Starcade, Girls Getaway Gone Wrong 2, and Birth/Rebirth. He also pops up in national commercials playing roles he’s unqualified to play in real life, like “Dad.” His debut novel, Emergency Contact, is available wherever books are sold.

Long bio:

Hi! I'm Anthony LeDonne.

I'm a NYC-based comedian, actor, author, and award-winning photographer.

But for some reason this simple syrup recipe is the most popular page on my website.

You’ve probably seen me in a commercial on TV. I play roles I’m unqualified for in real life. Usually a Successful Businessman, Doctor, or Dad.

I live in New York. But I'm not from New York. Which is why I look friendly.

I moved to New York to pursue my life-long dream of getting into debt.

I'm originally from Tacoma, Washington. It was once the meth capital of America. I don’t say that to brag. I don’t wanna come off like I come from meth money.

I married my high school sweetheart. Which means I was raised in captivity.

People ask, "Was it hard staying together for so long?" No. We started dating, and then we never stopped. We didn't change course. We did nothing. Break up? Get a divorce? I'm too lazy! The ball's in her court.

My wife's an author. She writes books that people buy.

She's written 42 romance novels. Or as I like to call them: passive aggressive wish lists. Sometimes it feels like she’s writing about the life I haven’t given her. A few recent books are Passion on Park Avenue and Love on Lexington Avenue. She still hasn’t written my suggestion, Horny in Hell's Kitchen.

She is NY Times bestselling author, Lauren Layne. 

Yes, I use the full title when I address her.

We live in a tiny apartment, which is hard because sometimes you gotta get away from your spouse. If we get into a fight, I can’t say, “Babe, I’ll be in the living room.” I gotta say, “Babe, turn around.”

My brother's in the Navy. 

And I tell jokes for a living. Who are you more proud of now, Dad?

My father likes to say one of his sons is an American hero and the other is finding himself.

I'm half Italian. 

So I only speak with one hand.

The other half is German. So I hold that hand down. Being half Italian and half German, every month or so I get an uncontrollable urge to invade something. And it’s usually a French Restaurant.
