Tony Roney

Tony Roney at Club Jovonnes

The comic behind the microphone has spent time building a comedy community, not just collecting stage credits.

Roney founded The Laff Tribe, a reminder that a comedy scene grows through people who make room for other performers. At Club Jovonnes, the attraction is a Detroit comedian whose work connects performance and the business of making comedy happen.

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 Wednesday, March 17, 2027 at 8:00 PM, the setting is Club Jovonnes, Detroit. Bring someone who likes discovering the people who make Detroit comedy, and give this particular performance a place on the calendar.
