Ron Placone
Ron Placone is a comedian/writer/producer/filmmaker seen on Discovery Channel, HBOMax, Hulu, AppleTV, Tubi, CrossTalk, Redacted Tonight, Status Coup News, and more. A joke-slinging vagabond, he’s toured nearly everywhere in the US, Australia, Canada, and his solo-show, “Balding is Punk Rock”, premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023 (****). He will be returning to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2026 with his new stand-up show, “Anti-Fascist Pasta Night.” His co-headlining tour with Graham Elwood sold out venues in Melbourne, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Miami.
In 2022, Ron took the dive into production. Since then, he’s released the webisode/pilot, Loner, his vertical series, Frank Azurri, premiered in Rome and then was later released on Status Coup News, and his debut feature, Left At Wall, enjoyed sold out screenings in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh, an international screening in London, and is out NOW on a bunch of platforms. Ron recommends watching it on Tubi because it’s free there. Bit by the bug, he wrote and produced the stage play, Termination Fee. Termination Fee premiered at the Hollywood Fringe in 2025, it sold out 60% of its run and was nominated for Ink Well Theater’s Playwright’s Promise Award. Termination Fee is currently in post-production as a feature film.
He also co-produced the web-comic Lucy & Ron.
His podcast is called 1000 w/ Ron Placone, where, as he puts it: “Each week I interview somebody who is living a creative, fulfilling life, and doing inspiring work amidst the backdrop of a society in decline. For the freethinkers and those going against the tide.”
