Medium bio:

Anthony LeDonne is a New York City-based stand-up comedian, actor, and author. Originally from Tacoma, WA, his comedy reflects his experience growing up in a small city, trying to make it in a big one, marrying his high school sweetheart, not having kids, and playing dad to an overweight Pomeranian.

You can catch him on TV in Chambers, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Evil Lives Here, The Good Cop, and Billions, and in the movies Starcade, Girls Getaway Gone Wrong 2, and Birth/Rebirth. He's been featured on Amazon Prime, Hulu, Showtime, Tubi, and Epicurious, where tens of millions have watched him cook doughnuts and answer viewer questions about how many chocolate chips is too many (no such thing). He also does commercials where he plays roles he's unqualified to play in real life, like a dad.

His debut novel, Emergency Contact, can be found everywhere 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!
Ball's in her court.

My wife's an author. 

She writes books that people buy.

She's written 41 romance novels. Or as I like to call them: passive aggressive wish lists. Her most popular 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 an Olive Garden.
