Paul Mecurio gives the audience ‘Permission to Speak’ at United Theatre
Comedian Paul Mecurio has an off-Broadway show coming to the United Theatre this Saturday. Mecurio was born and raised in Rhode Island and after a brief career on Wall Street as a lawyer and investment banker, he moved into comedy. Since then he’s been on “The Daily Show,” “The Colbert Report,” and he’s currently on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as a performer. He’s won Emmy and Peabody awards, and he hosts a podcast called “Inside Out with Paul Mecurio.” Artscape Producer James Baumgartner spoke with Paul about his off-broadway show, “Permission to Speak,” where he picks random members of the audience to come up on stage, asks them questions, and everyone gets to hear their story.
