Career
In 2022, Angelone began a podcast with fellow Irish comedian, Mike Rice, called "Mick & Vittorio's Guide to Parenting".[5] Their podcast is so named, despite neither having children, as a way to catch listeners' attention.[6]
In 2022, Angelone began touring his first special 'Translations', a show that delves into being Irish in England, and the prejudices that still remain today. It also references his Italian heritage and the preference for comedy shows to need a 'sad section'.[7] His show Translations was nominated for Best Newcomer of the Year at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival [7]
In 2024, Angelone began touring his new stand-up show, 'Who Do You Think You Are: I AM!', a title derived from a bowler, Pete Weber.[8]
His show explores what makes him a whole person and how his identity shapes the person and comedian he has become today.[9]
In his show, Angelone also discusses that he is in the process of finding out whether he's autistic,[8] a topic that is mentioned often in his podcast.[5]
