Tony T Roberts 2.0

TONY T ROBERTS

Has been coined by his peers as the “comedian’s comedian.” His hard hitting, energetic, style of comedy has catapulted him into one of the top ranked comedians on the comedy circuit. Born and raised in Detroit Michigan.

Tony has always found himself growing up, quick and witty, with a short attention span. That is ultimately what led him into the military and where he served his country for 10 years. (Till this day some still refer to him as the “sergeant of comedy”.)

Tony Roberts stumbled up on stage for the first time, one night at Mark Ridley’s comedy club in Royal Oak Michigan, as a result of a bet from his childhood best friend, Perry Conway. Tony recalls that night being a total Train wreck of nerves. Tony quickly became a favorite to the club owners. With his improvisational skills and quick wits, he soon landed his first Television Standup appearance on BET Comic View, where he received the “Robin Harris Award” for most original comic of the year. Following the award he performed at the HBO Def Comedy Jam set in New York City, Tony immediately made this his home.

The name, Tony Roberts, quickly became a popular and respected name in the comedy world, among colleagues and fans; after (9) appearances on BET Comic View, (4) headlining sets on HBO Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at the Apollo.

Tony has been nationally touring with a few stage plays, along with his international tours in Asia, Africa, Canada and the UK. In the UK is where he landed a nomination in 2009 for the England’s Best International Comedian.

Currently, Tony has (3) consecutive 1-hour standup specials with Netflix, Showtime and Amazon Prime; Co-Starring roles in sitcoms from NBC, ABC and Entertainment Television. Movies such as Damon Dash’s “Death of a Dynasty”, “Speed Dating” “Meet the Blacks” “Durdy Game” and “A Get2gether”…Tony Roberts has become a living legend to anyone who’s grabbed a microphone and told a joke.
