Straight Outta Brooklyn

 

Whatever you do, don’t ask Brian Scolaro about his formative years. You won’t get a straight story. You might learn about his cure for “sight,” his mother the ghost pimp, and most likely, he will try to sell you garbage from under a bridge.

Brooklyn-born Brian Scolaro got his start at the The Comedy Cellar in NYC, and he is most known for his appearances on Conan, his half hour Comedy Central special Comedy Central Present: Brian Scolaro, as Doug on TBS’s Sullivan and Son, and as Stuart on FOX’s Stacked.
