The Tenderloins

The Tenderloins, a New York-based comedy troupe, whose four members – Joe Gatto, James Murray, Brian Quinn and Sal Vulcano – are the creators, executive producers, and stars of truTV’s hit series, Impractical Jokers.  Now in its 5th season and recently greenlit for a 6th season, Impractical Jokers follows The Tenderloins as they coerce one another into doing public pranks while being filmed by hidden cameras.  With each new season, the show continues to take dares to outrageous levels with new over-the-top hijinks.  At the end of its 4th season, the series celebrated 100 episodes in the US with a live television event, The Impractical Jokers Live Punishment Special.  Hosted by Howie Mandel, the special drew in 3 million viewers with an impressive 150 MM social media impressions.  The Troupe have toured steadily nationwide over the last two years with their highly successful “truTV Impractical Jokers ‘Where’s Larry?’ Tour Starring the Tenderloins,” playing to thousands of fans per market including a recent 3-night sold out run at New York’s historic Radio City Music Hall. The new tour, “Santiago Sent Us,” continues on The Tenderloins’ success on the road, broadening the live show’s reach in the US and the United Kingdom. Natives of Staten Island, NY, 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, The Tenderloins crossed over to the web, garnering millions of views for their internet sketches, eventually creating the runaway success Impractical Jokers for truTV.  Impractical Jokers is top 5 in its timeslot on cable in the US and is the #1 show in the United Kingdom, airing on Comedy Central.
