In the world of stand-up comedy, where timing is everything, Natalie Cuomo and Dan LaMorte have found the perfect rhythm—not just on stage, but in life. Fresh off their recent marriage, this dynamic duo has merged their comedic talents and personal lives, embarking on a journey that’s as unpredictable as their punchlines. As they take their newlywed status on the road with the aptly named FunnyMoon tour, Natalie and Dan are discovering that the real joke is on anyone who thinks comedy and marriage don’t mix.
Their love story is unconventional, but clearly it’s a good one. Meeting at The Stand, a renowned comedy club in New York City, Natalie and Dan quickly bonded over their shared experiences in the industry. “We both push each other to be the best versions of ourselves,” Natalie reflects, highlighting the unique dynamic they’ve cultivated both on and off the stage. Their relationship has grown stronger, not in spite of their shared career but because of it. “The road can be super lonely,” Natalie admits, “so having each other is fun because we get to explore together.” This exploration has taken them from one city to the next, where they’ve not only built their careers but also deepened their connection, leading to their recent marriage just a few months ago.
As they continue to navigate their careers as a married couple, Natalie and Dan have found that their partnership has added new layers to their comedy. The FunnyMoon Tour is a testament to their evolving relationship. The tour structure includes two long individual sets, followed by a dual, improvised segment if the crowd is “cool,” as Dan puts it. This final segment, born from the comfort and trust they’ve developed on the road together, offers something truly special to audiences. “It’s a way of making every show unique,” Dan explains. The spontaneity and realness of this shared stage time have become a highlight for their fans, who often tell them that their dynamic reminds them of their own relationships. “People will tell us that it reminds them of when they and the person they came with that night started dating, and that is really special to us,” Natalie adds.
Behind the laughs, however, lies a layer of vulnerability and support. Natalie speaks candidly about the challenges of pushing each other to be better comics, noting how discussing their sets and writing can be “very vulnerable,” but has also allowed the two to blossom on their own path in comedy. Dan speaks on the often-discouraged idea of comedians dating one another: “People always say that comics shouldn’t date each other, but when you have two people that are kind of moving in the same direction, it is productive. It’s nice to build something with your partner,” he shares. The key, they agree, is putting ego aside and supporting each other through every high and low.
The couple’s upcoming Colorado date at The Moxi Theater in Greeley on September 27th, will be nothing short of unforgettable. Natalie provides, “I’m really excited for this upcoming tour because there’s a lot of opportunity to grow our dual set and solidify it as a one-of-a-kind set in comedy. It’s not something you really understand until you experience it, so I’m excited to share it with the world,” she says. And yes, Dan and Natalie are performers, but they understand that more than ever, crowds are searching for authenticity on stage. “People see what’s honest and what isn’t,” Dan says, “and I think it’s very important to not let the artist overshadow the human at the end of the day because the human drives the vehicle.”
With their unique blend of humor, love, and authenticity, Natalie Cuomo and Dan LaMorte are not just two comedians on tour—they are in love and redefining what it means to share both a life and a stage. As they prepare to take the stage at The Moxi Theater, fans can expect a night of laughter, spontaneity, and perhaps a glimpse into the genuine connection that drives their comedy.
