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

A comedy career doesn't have to stop when the microphone goes down. Tony Roney has spent years building his place in Detroit entertainment as a performer, producer and filmmaker. On Friday, September 24, 2027, at 8:00 PM, he returns to Tony Roney's at Starters Bar & Grill for an evening that puts the man behind those projects in front of the audience.

His three seasons on BET's Comic View are one part of the story. The Miller Kings of Comedy Search win is another. Those credentials matter because they show how far his work has traveled beyond a single local stage. But this booking isn't a screening of old television appearances: the attraction is the chance to see the Detroit comedian perform live, where delivery and personality matter as much as the material.

Roney has also founded The Laff Tribe, worked with Comedy Clique and directed and starred in Da Comic Vibe — A Tony Roney Film. That combination of performer and organizer makes him an interesting figure for anyone who follows the city's comedy community. His film work offers another perspective on an artist who has invested in the culture around the jokes, not only his own stage time.
