Tony Deyo made his late-night television debut on CONAN in 2013, which led to appearances on various other platforms including The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, AXS TV's Gotham Comedy Live, and Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen. His stand-up album Comedy Road Trip was a success, landing on the Billboard comedy chart and debuting as the #1 selling stand-up album on iTunes.
Additionally, Deyo has released three other comedy albums: Sleep When the Baby Sleeps, Secret Headliner, and I’m Telling You For the First Time. These albums further highlight his ability to connect with a variety of audiences through his observational humor and storytelling.
Tony Deyo has also been featured on Jeff Foxworthy’s podcast, A Comic Mind, and was recognized by the New York Post as one of the best comedians of the year. He is also a regular presence on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, further showcasing his broad appeal.
Tony Deyo is a stand-up comedian renowned for his quick wit, sharp material, and impeccable comedic timing, which he attributes to his background as a professional symphony musician. His style is often described as precise and clever, with a near-perfect execution of punchlines. This precision is what earned him praise from New York City's Village Voice, which called him “one of the tightest joke writers in the business.” His work often resonates with fans who appreciate intelligent humor that avoids relying on profanity or shock value.

"Hands down one of the best places to perform in the country. It's how a comedy club is supposed to be! It's in a basement, it's dark and the audiences are great. The AA Showcase offers a talented variety of comedians and they are supportive of the local stand up scene."
— Bill
This comedy club was great, great drinks, great wait staff and no matter where you're seated you'll have a great view of the stage. The comics were hilarious and me and my friends had an awesome time. Kristin Keys was hilarious � if you ever get a chance to see her GO!!
