Rocky Dale Davis

Rocky Dale Davis at Mic Drop Comedy Detroit

A funny story can turn a completely ordinary day into something unforgettable. Rocky Dale Davis knows the power of the telling: the pauses, the detours, the details that make a situation sound worse before the laugh finally lands. Friday's early show is for people who love a comic with a story to tell.

Davis has appeared on NBC’s Bring the Funny and E!’s Dating No Filter. Those credits offer an introduction to a performer who works in several comedy settings, while his own description of himself as a storyteller gets to the heart of the appeal. There’s pleasure in following somebody else’s version of events, especially when you’ve chosen the teller for his sense of humor.

If a clip first caught your attention, this is a chance to see Davis as the headliner. Let curiosity about the comic guide the outing. You can arrive familiar with his personality or simply interested in discovering a stand-up whose work has traveled beyond the club circuit. Either way, you have a specific name to look forward to.

See what happens when Rocky Dale Davis has a full stage instead of a short clip. Pick the early Friday show and make room for a storyteller who knows how to hold a room.
