Tony Deyo is a rarity in the comedy world – clean AND funny.
A rising young talent, Deyo is known for his sharp, quick material and near perfect comedic timing almost certainly gained from his years as a professional symphony musician. In 2007, he had the incredible opportunity to perform at the prestigious HBO Aspen Comedy Festival. In 2011, he was named one of the year’s best by the New York Post, and can be heard on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Radio Show.
Tony grew up in a small town in rural Virginia. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in education and master’s degree in music, he spent several years performing with various symphonies. He was also middle school teacher for three years before realizing that he had a strong distaste for children.
After moving to Austin, TX, Deyo discovered comedy. He began performing, influenced by the work of Jerry Seinfeld and Brian Regan. Deyo’s career has already come full circle, as he has since worked with Regan repeatedly.
Like his influences, Tony’s act is clean and suitable for nearly any audience.
Funny stuff. I love the marriage coupons. Ever try the “love dice?” Don’t…your kids will find them and bring them out when grandparents are around. Sidekick is pretty funny too. Who determines whether you get a cool sidekick or a lame one? And how did you get someone to run around NYC in tights…really good friends I guess!
You get someone to run around NYC in tights by shooting it at midnight when there aren’t as many people around.
It was still pretty funny watching him get dressed on the platform waiting for the subway.
