The cast from TruTV’s television show, Impractical Jokers, “The Tenderloins”, will be making their Rhode Island debut on Saturday, July 13th at the Mattie Volkswagen Audi 13th annual Newport Summer Comedy Series at the Newport Yachting Center.  

“The Tenderloins”, a comedy troupe starring Brian Quinn, Joe Gatto, James Murray and Sal Vulcano, have become immensely popular during the past two years. The first two seasons of their television show, Impractical Jokers, has been watched by more than 32 million fans each season. They have accumulated millions of views on You Tube, MySpace and Metacafe. The troupe won the $100,000 grand prize in NBC’s It’s You are Show competition for the sketch, “Time Thugs” in 2007.

“It’s great when we can bring popular new acts to our series and the Newport waterfront” says Newport Summer Comedy Series president Joe Rocco. “The Tenderloins are a talented and unpredictable group, so it should be an outrageous and funny show.”
