Anthony Rodia

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, becoming a finance manager at a luxury car dealership.

In 2019, Anthony returned to comedy and left his day job to become a full-time stand-up comic. He hit the ground running—performing 100 shows in just nine months. Within three years, he had built a massive fan base both online and across the country.

Anthony’s rise was fueled by his sharp, relatable humor and real-life observations on marriage, parenthood, road rage, and everyday life. His social media following skyrocketed to over 900,000 followers, and his YouTube videos have amassed over 22 million views.

During the quarantine, he took full advantage of a captive audience—releasing 86 weekly videos. His series “ROAD RAGE WEDNESDAY” became a fan favorite, while his beloved characters Uncle Vinny and Zia Lucia turned into viral sensations. They’re the hilarious, unfiltered relatives we all know and (secretly) love.

In 2021, Anthony launched Rodia Wines, featuring:

Uncle Vinny’s Red Blend

Zia Lucia’s White Blend

Both pair perfectly with your favorite Italian dishes. Rodia Wines is available online at rodiawines.myshopify.com and will be hitting local retailers soon.

Anthony also co-hosts the weekly podcast “Little Bit of Laughs” on Podcast One, alongside radio legend Goumba Johnny. Together, they dive into hot topics, listener stories, pranks, and—of course—plenty of laughs.
