Ace Aceto - Inducted April 8, 2016

Ace Aceto

Ace Aceto burst onto the scene during the latter part of the stand-up comedy boom in 1989.  His first time on stage, he immediately caught attention by placing second in a local comedy contest.  By 1990, Ace was chosen along with 9 other finalists to be filmed for Stand-Up Stand-Up and Short Attention Span Theater for Comedy Central (then known as The Comedy Channel). 

A Rhode Island native, Ace worked clubs, colleges, and corporate gigs up and down the east coast, but has also  worked as an actor on stage as Demetrius in Shakespeare’s “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream” and in 1998 he completed his first starring film role, in the independent feature film “BoxedMan”. He has also appeared in several local television commercials and stage plays.​

Ace may look like the boy next door, but he’s also the guy who will place a Kick Me sign on your back when you’re not looking. Whether he’s talking about growing up Catholic, or impersonating RI’s own, Peter & Stewie Griffin, among other voices.

In 2012, Ace released his first comedy album called "Good Catholic Boy" and in 2022 he wrote and published his first childrens' book titled, "Maddie Loses A Tooth."

Ace can also be heard weekly on his highly successful podcast, along with his partner Scott Higgins, called Behind The Funny.
