In 2010, The Hollywood Reporter named Vatterott one of the "break-outs" at Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. Since then, he has gone on to perform on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," TBS' "Conan," and has recorded a half-hour stand-up special on Comedy Central, as well as became an actor and producer on Comedy Central's new series, "Mash Up."

Vatterott has toured with Chicago's storied "Second City," and his sketch group, 'Heavyweight,' has performed at Second City's "Unhinged," as well as the Toronto Just for Laughs Festival. He was additionally the recipient of the prestigious Andy Kaufman Award in 2011. His comedy has been called everything from high-energy to improvisational, unconventional to outside the box, but above all else, hilarious.
