JIM LABRIOLA was born and raised in
Queens, New York. As a young boy, Jim had a natural flair for comedy. While many
kids his age are drawn to sports or music, Jim’s natural sense of humor led him
to the comedic arts. Jim spent endless hours listening to routines from legends
like Pat Cooper, George Carlin and his personal hero, Don Rickles. As Jim’s
gift blossomed, audiences responded leading to regular performances in Brooklyn
and Manhattan, and eventually premier comedy venues across the nation. Sharing
the stage with Tim Allen at the Governor’s Comedy Club on Long Island sparked a
close friendship and career friendship, which let to the recurring role of the donut-loving
freeloader, Benny Baroni, on ABC’s hit show Home
Improvement. Jim went on to guest star in various other network sitcoms and
major motion pictures including Joe
Somebody for 20th Century Fox and Disney’s massive hit, The Santa Clause.
