John Racioppo (pronounced ra-chop-oh) is a Brooklyn-based actor and comedian. His work has been described as “too real n too funny” and “F*ING GENIUS!” by people in the comment section.

Though you have probably seen him while scrolling on social media or sometimes on the TV in your living room, John can usually be found in a theatre, working on new plays (often with his company Fault Line Theatre) or performing regularly in the New York comedy scene at venues like UCB, Brooklyn Comedy Collective, and Caveat. He has developed new work with hundreds of artists, including Celine Song, Eric Bogosian, Knud Adams, and Beau Willimon. However, he may best be known for his role as ‘the guy who didn’t notice he was on a kiss-cam” with the New York Islanders.

Originally from Toronto, Canada, he left home to attend Brown University and though he now has a Green Card, he retains a deep love for Toronto sports, flannel shirts, and cold weather.
