A first-generation Italian-American born and raised right here in Westchester County, New York, Anthony Rodia came out of the womb making people laugh. In his 20\u2019s 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.
\nIn a very short time, Anthony gained over 900,000 social media followers and his YouTube videos have amassed over 22 million views. Rodia\u2019s comedy pulls from his real life and razor-sharp observations on marriage, parenthood, road rage, and everything else worthy of a social media rant.
\nWith the onset of quarantine, Anthony made the most of a captive audience, delivering a staggering 86 weekly videos. \u201cROAD RAGE WEDNESDAY\u201d 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\u2019t be out in public with, who speak their minds (whether you asked for it or not).
\nIn 2021, Anthony launched Rodia Wines, which include a Zia Lucia\u2019s White Blend and Uncle Vinny\u2019s 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\/.
\nRodia also host 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\u2019s questions and stories.
\nAnthony has appeared on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, FOX\u2019s Good Day New York, and Elizabeth & Elisa on News 12, he quietly claimed the throne of \u201cKING OF OFF THE BOAT COMEDY.\u201d
\nRodia is currently selling out comedy clubs and theaters across the country on his The Road Rage Tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
