There are no heroes in this story- only victims and villains.

This is the true story of Vinnie Favorito.

A rising star in standup comedy, Vinnie worked his way up to a headline show at the Flamingo in Las Vegas.

But behind the scenes, he was scamming anyone and everyone out of money to support his gambling addiction.

In an era where every comic got a show on air, the fact that his pilot went nowhere seems odd,

In retrospect, it may have been a red flag that things were not good behind the scenes.

[Christipher Robin Gallego @mrchristopherg]

He continued to grow in popularity, being invited to all the celebrity roasts.

He was poised to become the next great insult comic of his generation.

[Christipher Robin Gallego @mrchristopherg]

He made a name for himself roasting celebrities at the legendary Friars Club in Beverly Hills.

For aspiring standup comics, winning the San Francisco International Comedy Competition is a big deal.

Boston comics are built different.

He’s probably the most famous comedian you’ve ever heard of.

He had the one and only entertainment contract at Binion’s (Benny Binion HATED entertainment).

He consistently sold tickets to his show at O’Shea’s Casion- which was NOT connected to any hotel at the time.

Everyone that dreams of gold starts at the same place: the bottom.

Brian Burkhardt was no different.

Even with his checkered past, he was able to find his way into the El Cortez as a dice dealer in 1996.

It was a different time.

Imagine working your way up to a headline show on the strip in Vegas…

…then loosing it all.

What would you do?

[Christipher Robin Gallego @mrchristopherg]

Only REAL ONES sell tickets- and Vinnie was selling out nightly.

Here’s what’s crazy: he was still relatively unknown too.

But that was changing quickly.

After three good years at O’Shea’s he landed what most comics only dream of:

a headline show at the Flamingo Hotel.

[Christipher Robin Gallego @mrchristopherg]

Las Vegas, 2005: a rising standup comedian worked his way from Downtown to a casino right off the strip.

He was able to do the one thing that matters most: sell tickets consistently.
