Natives of Staten Island, New York – Sal Vulcano, Joe Gatto, James Murray and Brian Quinn met while attending high school, and later formed The Tenderloins Comedy Troupe in 1999.

After years of performing live improv and sketch comedy shows in theatres, clubs and festivals across the country, The Tenderloins crossed over to the web, garnering millions of views for their Internet sketches.  At the height of MySpace’s popularity, The Tenderloins were ranked #1 out of over 120,000 comedian accounts.

They went on to win the $100,000 grand prize of NBC’s “It’s Your Show”, a sketch comedy competition show, hosted by Carson Daly.  A single-camera, scripted sitcom pilot with Spike TV followed, based on the guys' real lives. They have also had pilots with A&E, TBS, CMT and VH1, as well as their own independently produced sitcom pilot, which was an official New York Television Festival selection.

In April 2012 they also started The Tenderloins’ Podcast which is released bi-weekly and can be found on iTunes or via their website www.TheTenderloins.com.
