Tony V started his stand-up comedy career in 1982 after attending several shows at Boston's prestigious Comedy Connection. He wandered in one night, quite by accident, looking for a little stress relief from a high-pressure job as a case worker at the Somerville Mental Health Center. Tony was working his way toward a Masters degree in social work having graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a B. S. in Psychology. It was not long after that he took to the stage himself. Tony's street-wise humor tempered with a genuine feel for the human condition quickly propelled him to headliner status on the national comedy club circuit.In 1986 Tony V was named "Funniest Person in Massachusetts" by Showtime television. He followed this achievement with several performances on HBO, the Arts and Entertainment Network, Comedy Central and MTV.

After receiving his first D- for conduct in the second grade, James Dorsey realized school was not his cup of tea and took his "disruptive in class" trademark to the stand-up stage and never looked back. He shares life experiences through high energy, witty act outs and facial expressions. His use of imitations and characters is incredibly vivid and entertaining. James was the national winner of the Catch a New Rising Star competition, the winner of the Plymouth Rock Comedy Festival and has performed at the prestigious Boston Comedy Festival.
