Anthony Rodia - Laugh Till It Hurts

Anthony Rodia is bringing his stand-up to Side Splitters Comedy Club in Tampa for a three-night run, January 15 through 17, 2027. He's an Italian-American comedian who calls himself the 'King Of Off The Boat Comedy,' and the act lives up to the name—it's built on his real-life experiences with parenthood, marriage, and road rage. If you've ever spent a morning arguing with a toddler or a commute fighting traffic, you'll recognize the territory he's working with.

It's a funny way to get to know him, and there's a bit of a story behind how he got here. He started doing open mics in his twenties, then stepped away from the stage to follow a different career for a while. He didn't stay away forever, though. He returned to the stage in 2019 and put in a hell of a stretch: 100 shows in just nine months. He built his following through YouTube videos that have reached over 22 million views, and he's appeared on The Morning Show, FOX's Good Day New York, and Elvis Duran.

The Tampa dates are part of his Laugh Till It Hurts tour, and the show runs for an hour and a half. With three nights on the bill, you've got a few options for when to catch him.
