A local comedian was arrested on Monday, August 15th, after allegedly exposing himself in front of Learning Bug Preschool.
Paul Pipitone, 65, was taken into custody after concerned parents re- peatedly called authorities claiming their children, ages three and four, re- ported a naked man dancing outside of their preschool. One of the alleged child victims claimed that Pipitone’s “thingy was all weird and twisty”. Pipitone’s bond was set at $30,000. The comedian is being charged with 11 accounts of indecent exposure and Sexual misconduct with minors.
Pipitone’s comedic career con- sisted of musings on his Italian- American identity and touched on subjects such as Fettuccine, talking with one’s hands, and Andiamo’s. He ran an “open-mic” at Ferndale’s New Way Bar on Woodward Ave. One dis- gruntled ex-performer described Pipi- tone’s demeanor as “tyrannical and homoerotic in nature”. Interviews with Pipitone’s comedic peers re- veal he often bragged about his sex- ual exploitation. One fellow come- dian stated Pipitone posited jokes, wherein he described getting “down and dirty with a minor in an Andi- amo’s”.
When reached for a comment, An- diamo’s refuted any affiliation with Pipitone, despite his insisted claims of partnership. Pipitone, when ques- tioned, exclaimed “mama Mia, I love the children.” In an affected Italian accent.
