Tickets On Sale Thursday, April 17, 2025
(West Palm Beach, FL) – The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts announces that Italian American comedy personality ANTHONY RODIA joins the 2025-2026 season with his hilarious LAUGH TILL IT HURTS TOUR. Tickets will go on sale to the public Thursday April 17 at 10 a.m. online and 12 p.m. at the Box Office or by calling 561.832.7469.
A first-generation Italian American born and raised in Westchester, New York, Anthony Rodia came out of the womb making people laugh. In his 20s he tried a few open mics but ultimately took a different career path as a finance manager of a luxury car dealership. In 2019, Rodia returned to comedy and left his day job to become a full-time stand-up comic. He hit the ground running and performed 100 shows in just nine months, and within three years Anthony has gained a massive fan base online and around the country.
In a very short time, Anthony gained over 900,000 social media followers and his YouTube videos have amassed over 22 million views. Rodia’s comedy pulls from his real life and razor-sharp observations on marriage, parenthood, road rage and everything else worthy of a social media rant.
With the onset of quarantine, Anthony made the most of a captive audience, delivering a staggering 86 weekly videos. “ROAD RAGE WEDNESDAY” became a fan favorite, but his Uncle Vinny and Zia Lucia characters transformed into a phenomenon. They are the crazy uncle and aunt you love but can’t be out in public with, who speak their minds (whether you asked for it or not).
In 2021, Anthony launched Rodia Wines, which include a Zia Lucia’s White Blend and Uncle Vinny’s Red Blend that both pair perfectly with any of your favorite Italian dishes. Rodia Wines will soon be available in local retail stores and is currently available online at https://rodiawines.myshopify.com.
Rodia also hosts the weekly podcast, Little Bit of Laughs on Podcast One. Get to know the comedian behind your favorite viral videos and stand-up comedy alongside his co-host and radio legend Goumba Johnny. Join Anthony and Goumba as they get into hot topics, rants, pranks, and listener’s questions and stories.
Anthony has appeared on “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show”, FOX’s “Good Day New York” and “Elizabeth & Elisa” on News 12, he quietly claimed the throne of “KING OF OFF THE BOAT COMEDY.”
Rodia is currently selling out comedy clubs and theaters across the country on his The Road Rage Tour. For more info go to: www.rodiacomedy.com.
