Vulcano was born in Staten Island, and is of Italian, Cuban and Puerto Rican descent. Along with Gatto, Murray, and Quinn, he was a member of his high school's Improvisation Club, for they saw it as a way to express themselves and meet girls. He received a degree in Finance from St. John's University.
After being apart for years, Murray, Gatto, and Vulcano reunited after graduating from college and began practicing improvisation at Gatto's house, going on to tour as an improv and sketch comedy troupe in 1999, calling themselves The Tenderloins.
