Rick grew up the middle child of two brothers which in itself is a comedy act.  Hailing from Meriden, CT He then was forced into the family construction business where he didn't know the difference between a belt sander and a screw gun.  After going to college and being a freshmen every year he decided to go into the United States Navy.  Armed with all these diverse experiences, Rick Carino the stand up comedian was born.

        

          Rick's comedy has been described as straight forward stories of his life.  He is a PG 13 rated comedian who doesn't hold back on anything that he wants to talk about.  "I just want to make people laugh," says Rick.  "There isn't a greater feeling than turning around someone's day by bringing a big smile to their face and it’s usually at the expense of me.  Plus at what other job could I be politically incorrect and drink on the job?"
