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

October starts with a choice: another predictable Friday, or a night built around Detroit comedy. Tony Roney performs at Tony Roney's at Starters Bar & Grill on October 1, 2027, at 8:00 PM, bringing his own stand-up career back to the venue that carries his name.

Roney isn't a newcomer borrowing a local spotlight. He appeared on BET's Comic View across three seasons and won the Miller Kings of Comedy Search. For fans who remember those national appearances, the October booking is a chance to reconnect with the comedian rather than revisit a clip. For someone who has never seen him, those credits explain why his name has remained part of Detroit's entertainment conversation.

There's more to that story than television. Roney founded The Laff Tribe, is associated with Comedy Clique, and stepped behind the camera to direct Da Comic Vibe — A Tony Roney Film, in which he also stars. That mix of performance and production gives his career a distinctly hands-on character. He has worked to create comedy as well as deliver it, a meaningful distinction for fans interested in the people who help shape a local scene.

Make the first Friday of October a reason to get together. Choose Tony Roney's October 1 performance and look at ticket options for a night centered on Detroit stand-up.
