Roberts has been blessed with the coveted honor of being the “Comedians-comedian.” The guy other performers love to watch work. His hilarious and refreshing energetic comedy style has granted him respect and created a huge demand for him on the comedy circuit here in the states and abroad.

Tony has entertained audiences in some of the nations hottest comedy arenas including: Caroline’s The Boston Comedy Club in New York City; The Peppermint Lounge in New Jersey; All Jokes Aside in both Chicago and Detroit; and The Comedy Act Theater in Los Angeles just to name a few.
