Mecurio worked as an investment banker and mergers and acquisitions lawyer before he turned to stand-up comedy full time.
[2] Mecurio graduated from Providence College and from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C.[2] He first started his career on Wall Street in New York City as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, and later as an investment banker at Credit Suisse First Boston.
[citation needed] While working on Wall Street, Mecurio attended a private stand-up comedy show by comedian Jay Leno.
Mecurio, a comedy fan who had written some jokes for himself, handed 15 pages of his own material to Leno with the hope of selling some for him to use on television.
Shortly after doing stand-up as hobby while still on Wall Street, he had a seven-month absence from work to support his mother in Providence; after returning to New York, he resigned to focus on comedy.
