In this episode of Cawfee Tawk, comedian Tara Cannistraci serves up laughs and real talk as she explores the Italian word "vecchio"—aka, old. From roasting the fact that her Grandma looked like a grandma her entire life to the shocking realization that Archie Bunker was only 48 in All in the Family (wait, WHAT?!), Tara dives into the hilarious and humbling signs of aging.

She’s calling out the ridiculous pressure for women to "age gracefully" (whatever that means) and shares her own telltale moments—like struggling to read a menu in dim lighting and swapping out a brownie for olive oil cake (because, digestion). It's a mix of humor, honesty, and a big shot of espresso as Tara reminds us that getting older might be inevitable, but it can definitely be funny.

Pull up a chair, grab your cawfee (or your dumbbells), and enjoy the perfect blend of laughs and life advice.

Currently, she co-hosts the Chazz Palminteri Show podcast, captivating audiences with her honest insights and vivacious personality.

In this hilarious and heartwarming episode of Cawfee Tawk, comedian Tara Cannistraci sits down with online fitness sensation Body Fit by Amy—aka the Jeff Bezos of online workouts—to talk all things fitness, food, and finding your people. From starting in her garage to building a massive online fitness empire, Amy shares how she grew her supportive, all-levels-welcome community.

Tara and Amy bond over their love-hate relationship with traditional workouts (Tara’s running away from running… literally), and their mutual pasts of indulgent childhood eating habits—spaghetti for breakfast in Tara’s Italian household and biscuits & gravy in Amy’s Southern roots. They get real about ditching food guilt, embracing moderation, and why fitness isn't about punishment, but empowerment.

They dive into the mental health side of movement, how to make exercise actually enjoyable, and the importance of laughter, flexibility, and surrounding yourself with a positive community—on and off the mat.

Pull up a chair, grab your cawfee (or your dumbbells), and enjoy the perfect blend of laughs and life advice.

Pull up a chair and pour yourself a hot cawfee—this week, Bronx’s own Tara Cannistraci welcomes Staten Island’s rising comedy star Nicky Paris for a no-holds-barred tawk about life, laughs, and lasagna. These two Italian-American firecrackers dive deep into their borough upbringings, and how agida is a term they are bringing to Los Angeles.

Nicky confesses his sacrilegious obsession with chain restaurants (yes, Tara gasps), and the two pitch their dream campaign for congress with the slogan: "Make Pizzerias Italian Again." It’s a hilarious and heartfelt episode filled with loud opinions, big laughs, and even bigger personalities.

If you love classic Italian-American banter, comedy with a side of marinara, and brutally honest borough pride—you’ll feel right at home.

In this episode of Cawfee Tawk, comedian Tara Cannistraci sits down with the hilarious and unfiltered Eleanor Kerrigan for a deep dive into their East Coast roots, big families, and even bigger personalities. These two comedians bond over the shared chaos of growing up in tight-knit neighborhoods where everyone’s family is in your business—and even bailing you out of jail.

Eleanor dishes on what it was like growing up in a huge Irish family—she’s one of ten kids!—and how being from South Philly practically makes you Italian by default. The two share stories of neighborhood characters, childhood antics, and what it means to come from a place where you learn to roast before you walk.

But it’s not all meatballs and mayhem—Eleanor opens up about her 13-year journey at the iconic Comedy Store, going from cocktail waitress to stand-up comedian, and what she learned along the way. Plus, she talks about her past relationship with legendary comedian Andrew Dice Clay, their engagement, and how they’ve managed to keep the laughs (and the friendship) going strong even now as comedians on the road together.

Grab your cawfee and get ready for a raw, real, and riotously funny episode!

In this deeply personal solo episode of Cawfee Tawk, comedian and Bronx native Tara Cannistraci gets real about the one thing we all struggle with—change. Whether you’re 18 or 80, change is hard, and Tara opens up about her own journey of navigating it at every stage of her life.

From having her first truly safe home at age 29 to grappling with major life transitions, Tara shares honest reflections on what it means to try to grow while carrying the weight of your past. She talks about moving from the Bronx to Hartsdale and how, for a while, she would drive all the way back to the Bronx just to get gas from “her gas guy”—because sometimes, even the smallest routines feel like anchors in a world that’s shifting under your feet.

She doesn't shy away from the tough stuff: her complicated relationship with her alcoholic father, the pain of a terrible stepfather, and the long road to learning what stability feels like.

It’s vulnerable, it’s real, it’s Tara—raw and unfiltered. So grab your cawfee, and come sit down for a tawk you won’t forget.

On this episode of Cawfee Tawk, Tara Cannistraci sits down with the hilariously unfiltered Brittany Schmitt—and let’s just say, their first meeting didn’t exactly go as planned. (Spoiler: Brittany thought Tara was just a fan, and in an interracial relationship with Craig Robinson. Awkward much?)

The two dive into the darkest corners of Brittany’s comedy. With material rooted in real-life pain—like the death of her mother, complicated family dynamics, divorce, and even a DUI in Arizona—Brittany still finds a way to make you laugh so hard you snort your coffee.

They get real about the art of writing a joke, balancing online personas with who they are on stage, and what it takes to turn tragedy into punchlines. Plus, Brittany flips the script and stumps Tara with a curveball question about her alter ego, leaving even the host speechless for once.

It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s ridiculously funny. Pour yourself a cup and press play.

From growing up in NYC to her public school report cards that always said “Needs Improvement in Self-Control,” Tara shares hilarious stories of being that kid who just couldn't keep quiet. If you’ve ever been told you talk too much — or if you know a proud chiacchierone in your life — you’ll love this episode filled with laughs, memories, and a whole lotta personality.

Pull up a chair, grab your cawfee, and get ready for some real talk (and a lot of it).
