Cerabino joined the Palm Beach Post in 1989. He started writing columns for the newspaper during the William Kennedy Smith trial. In 1992 he became a full-time local news columnist and now writes four columns a week. He lives in Boca Raton with his wife and three children.

An Evening of Storytelling with Frank Cerabino
In the spirit of Spalding Gray, David Sedaris and Billy Crystal, Palm Beach Post humorist Frank Cerabino
tells the stories of his life — funny, true tales of the people,
places and events that forged his twisted outlook on life.
Frank, in his own way, talks about “growing up Italian”
on Long Island, searching for humor in the U.S. Navy
and finding the Holy Grail of absurdity here in South
Florida. In between, Frank shares what he has learned
about parenting, growing older and the virtues of
cynical optimism.
