Tony Roney

Tony Roney at Tony Roney's at Starters Bar & Grill

Christmas night does not have to mean another evening at home. Tony Roney has an 8:00 show in Detroit, giving local comedy fans a different way to spend December 25—with a performer whose work has reached television, film and the city's own comedy scene.

Roney’s television credits include three seasons on BET’s Comic View, and he won the Miller Kings of Comedy Search. That combination offers a starting point for fans who recognize his name. Seeing the comedian perform gives you a way to follow an existing interest or put a live appearance behind those national credits.

He also founded The Laff Tribe, belongs to Comedy Clique, and directed and starred in the documentary Da Comic Vibe — A Tony Roney Film. For someone who enjoys discovering different sides of a comedian’s work, those projects add another connection. Come for Roney himself and the pleasure of choosing a performer with a Detroit-based career.

Give Christmas night an unexpected twist. Tony Roney is performing at Starters; make December 25 a comedy outing.
