Cawfee Tawk with Tara Cannistraci – “Growing Up Palaminteri” with Dante Palminteri
This week on Cawfee Tawk, comedian Tara Cannistraci sits down with actor, singer, and songwriter Dante Palminteri for a hilarious and heartwarming conversation that spans generations, culture, and career paths. Dante shares what it was like growing up with very old-school Italian parents—both actors—while navigating his own creative journey. From stories about his legendary father Chazz Palminteri refusing to get caught up in fame and fortune, to his Bronx roots and a Nonna who literally lit fires to warm the bath water, Dante reflects on how far his family has come—“Two generations later, and I get to use ChatGPT!” The two also dive into Dante’s new film, Bad News On The Doorstep (coming in 2026), his early steps into stand-up comedy (with a little guidance from Tara, of course), and why the key to chasing your dreams might just be pushing through the cringe. "Everything you want is on the other side of cringe." Grab your cawfee, take a seat, and get ready to laugh, reminisce, and maybe even feel a little inspired. 🙋🏻♀️ 🇮🇹Check out Tara's Live Show! 👉 📲 Follow Tara on Social Media!

"Hall Passes" A Solo Tawk with Tara Cannistraci

"Hall Passes" A Solo Tawk with Tara Cannistraci
This week on Cawfee Tawk, we’re putting the mic down and the heart on full blast as comedian Tara Cannistraci trades punchlines for purpose, taking us back to her days as a school counselor in the Grand Concourse section of the Bronx. Before the stages and spotlights, Tara was navigating hallways filled with big personalities and even bigger potential. She shares the story of how the kids listened to her—not because she was loud, but because they knew she cared. Like the time a fierce Dominican mom called her up and said, “You have my permission—hit my son. Nobody else, but you? You can.” You know respect like that don’t come easy. Tara also opens up about the tough love she had to give a chatterbox student with dreams but no clear path. She made the call to send him to a middle school for exceptional kids, pulling him out of the crime-ridden chaos of his local school. He was furious with her at the time—but years later? He reached out, thanked her, and even asked her to come to his high school graduation. And just this year… he passed the bar exam. It’s a moving, hilarious, and deeply Bronx story about believing in someone—even when they don’t believe in themselves. So grab a cuppa, sit down, and listen close. This one’s from the heart. 🙋🏻♀️ 🇮🇹Check out Tara's Live Show! 👉 📲 Follow Tara on Social Media!

"Imposter Syndrome" A Solo Tawk with Tara Cannistraci
In this heartfelt episode of Cawfee Tawk, comedian Tara Cannistraci gets real about imposter syndrome—the sneaky, joy-stealing voice in our heads that tells us we don’t belong, even when we do. Tara opens up about her own struggles with self-doubt as a performer, but also reminds us that imposter syndrome doesn’t just hit entertainers—it’s everywhere. From the stage to the boardroom to your own living room, Tara shares insights on how this mindset can hold us back, and why the people who should feel like imposters (hello, Dunning-Kruger Effect!) rarely do—while those who are actually qualified constantly question themselves. Go figure! But don’t worry, this isn’t just heavy tawk. Tara blends honesty with humor as she urges listeners not to let these feelings rob us of the present. And yes, it’s totally OK to rest—without guilt. So grab your cawfee, take a breath, and let’s tawk through it. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is give yourself a break. 🙋🏻♀️ 🇮🇹Check out Tara's Live Show! 👉 📲 Follow Tara on Social Media!

"Borough Pride" A Solo Tawk with Tara Cannistraci
In this episode of Cawfee Tawk, Italian-American comedian Tara Cannistraci breaks down her borough radar — because trust her, she knows when someone’s from Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, or the Bronx the minute they walk in the room (and don’t even try to fake it). Tara shows love for her hometown, the Bronx — the last borough standing strong against gentrification — and gets real about the unfair stigma it still faces. Plus, she goes off on one of her biggest pet peeves: people who don’t clean up after their dogs. She’s just trying to walk down the block, not play hopscotch with land mines. Classic Bronx rants, plenty of laughs, and all the borough pride — don’t miss it. Pull up a chair, grab your cawfee (or your dumbbells), and enjoy the perfect blend of laughs and life advice.

"Vecchio Vibes" A Solo Tawk with Tara Cannistraci
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.

From Biscuits to Biceps: Fitness, Food & Funny with Body Fit by Amy
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.

From South Philly to Sunset Blvd: Eleanor Kerrigan Gets Real
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.

Cawfee Tawk with Tara Cannistraci: – Brittany Schmitt: Dead Moms, DUIs & Dark Laughs
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.

On this episode of Cawfee Tawk, Tara Cannistraci sits down with the hilarious and whip-smart for a comedy catch-up that spans Vegas stages, Canadian roots, and the wild ride of showbiz. The two first met at the legendary Dirty at 12:30 show, where Tara knew immediately legs in the air or not, Renée was her kind of funny! From growing up in Toronto to earning laughs in L.A., Renée shares her journey from child actor on Degrassi to seasoned comic grinding it out in Hollywood. They bond over the hustle, the heartbreak, and the hilarious truth that sometimes the best gigs come from asking for help. There’s a heartfelt shoutout to comedy vet Rich Vos, who unknowingly sparked their connection and may be the Kevin Bacon of stand-up. Renée opens up about what it’s like being a woman in comedy, building a career across borders, and navigating a dysfunctional (read: comedy gold) upbringing. Tara and Renée keep it real about bombing, bouncing back, and the backstage breakdowns we never post on Instagram. It’s a raw and funny convo between two comics who’ve been through it and still can’t get enough of the mic. Pour yourself a strong one!

Words like Morte Di Fame hit differently when you hear them in context. And Tara shares how those moments brought her full circle, especially as someone who's always been hungry for the stage. She opens up about her early comedy hustle, working for pennies just to get 15 minutes on the mic, and what it really means to be "starving" for success.

No Shoes in the House | Cawfee Tawk with Tara Cannistraci
🚨 Shoes in the house? Fuhgeddaboudit! 🚨 Tara is breaking down why wearing your outside shoes inside is just plain gross. Think about it—sidewalk sludge, bathroom bacteria, and whatever else you stepped in today, all getting tracked onto your rugs and floors. YUCK. Studies show that shoes carry bacteria like E. coli and C. diff, which can lead to infections, and a 2017 study found that 90% of the bacteria on shoes transfer to clean floors. Toxins from sidewalks, like pesticides and heavy metals, can also linger on shoe soles, affecting indoor air quality and increasing allergens and dust. Science backs up the “no shoes inside” rule, and honestly, who wants all that outside dirt in their home? Luckily, there’s a solution for those who refuse to take their shoes off—shoutout to the little booties that keep floors clean without the hassle. And in a wild turn, we discover a whole new way to clean your feet thanks to the internet’s most shared video 🫣👀!!
