Born in Detroit and raised in Boston, John Morello has been on stage for 15 years as an actor and headlining comedian. At one time a high school drop out, he now holds a BA in Theatre Arts and has appeared in numerous productions throughout New England. Although he has spent most of his time making people laugh he has always found himself working with people whose everyday realities are anything but funny. John considers himself a survivor of a “high risk” childhood. As a teenager he witnessed friends and family struggle with addiction. As a teacher in a treatment center he saw students struggle with the family cycles of self-abuse. John’s response to these struggles is a show called “Dirt.” With this new show touring the country, John is connecting with audiences in a unique theatrical setting. It is his hope that in his show everyone will see someone they know, especially themselves. John is a proud father to a little girl and the friend to two schnauzers. They all currently reside in Massachusetts.
