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

A late-summer Friday is a good moment to put a local artist first.

Roney’s career has included the Miller Kings of Comedy Search and work creating comedy projects beyond his own act. His Starters performance offers a direct way to engage with that history without pretending this particular set has a special theme.

A performer with both stage and production experience offers a useful perspective on comedy as work as well as entertainment. The audience does not need to know the whole résumé to appreciate the choice: the comedian is the reason to go.

For Friday, August 20, 2027 at 8:00 PM, the setting is Tony Roney's at Starters Bar & Grill, Detroit. Bring someone who likes discovering the people who make Detroit comedy, and give this particular performance a place on the calendar.
