Born in the same Brooklyn New York hospital where most of his seven brothers and one sister found their way into the world, Tony Rock, not to be confused with his favorite wrestler, was born laughing. As the fourth child of Rose and Julius Rock, Tony had a natural knack for entertaining. He had to stay alive. He drew a rich host of characters from where he grew up - Decatur Street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, which was one of the toughest that New York had to offer.
As a natural talent, after just six months in the business, his first booking on the road led him to Amsterdam. Upon returning to New York, Tony gained a reputation as a young star in the making. The Hollywood Reporter picked him as one of the hot young talents to come out of New York. Since then, he's become bi-coastal. When in New York, he's a regular at the world famous Comic Strip, Caroline's and Stand-up New York.
When in Los Angeles, he's a regular at the Comedy Store, Improv and Icehouse and he headlines at The Laugh Factory when he is not hosting Chocolate Sundae’s. Tony has highlighted his explosive career with movies, film and comedy tours. He now resides in Los Angeles, where you can see him hosting Chocolate Sundae’s.
