Maryann "Boom Boom" Maisano

Get ready—because this is not your Nona’s variety show.

​

The Italian Chicks is a bold, unapologetic explosion of comedy, music, and storytelling led by Maryann Maisano—the original Italian Chick herself. This newly reimagined show serves up fresh material, outrageous characters, and laugh-out-loud moments that hit just a little too close to home… in the best way possible.

​

We’re talking:
🎤 Stand-up that’s raw, real, and hilariously relatable
🎶 Musical numbers that are a little naughty… and a lot of fun
🍝 A touch of tradition—because just when you’re done laughing, boom—a heartfelt moment sneaks in and brings you right back to Sunday dinners, loud relatives, and “pass the gravy!”

​

Maryann brings the heat with stories about growing up Italian, surviving wild family dynamics, and navigating love, life, and all its beautiful chaos—with attitude, heart, and zero filter.

​

And when the music kicks in? Forget about it. The show turns electric, unpredictable, and completely unforgettable.

Endorsed by the late, great Danny Aiello, The Italian Chicks has brought the laughs from Las Vegas to Atlantic City and beyond. Wherever it lands, one thing is guaranteed: you’re leaving happier, louder… and probably quoting your favorite line all the way home.

This is an adult-themed show—leave the kids, take the cannoli.

                                                          Bio

Creator, producer, and headliner of The Italian Chicks, Maryann Maisano began performing at just 15 years old in a rock band. Her very Italian father once told her, “Mariana, you betta get a real job with benefits!”—so naturally, she spent 18 years in finance before walking away from a six-figure career to follow her true passion: entertaining.

A singer, songwriter, musician, comedian, actor, and writer, Maryann is the definition of a multi-hyphenate performer. After winning the NYC Songwriters Festival, her music career took off. Her song City of Light, recorded by the late Danny Aiello, went on to earn Grammy recognition.

She has released multiple albums—Playing with My Heart (2017), Make Me Crazy (2019), and Many Moods (2023)—available worldwide on platforms like Spotify and iTunes.

Blending her love of music and comedy, Maryann created The Italian Chicks in 2010—a hit variety show combining stand-up, song parodies, and heartfelt ballads that continues to tour nationally. She has opened for Joy Behar and Ray Romano.

Her one-woman play Agita won nine film festival awards and is currently streaming on Tubi and Amazon. Her LGBTQ+ short film The Key has also earned nine festival wins and is available on YouTube.

Maryann’s newest project—a bold and hilarious Off-Broadway musical comedy, A Lesbian, A Divorcee and a Married Woman Walk into a Bar… The Rest Is a Musical Comedy!—premiered on September 20, 2025, at the Triad Theater to rave reviews.
