Explore New Jersey Spotlight: Comedian Anthony Rodia Brings Road Rage, Relatable Rants, and Real Laughs to the Stage

From the finance office to sold-out comedy clubs, Anthony Rodia has taken an unconventional road to comedy success — and it’s been one hilarious ride.

Born and raised in Westchester, New York, this first-generation Italian-American always had a knack for making people laugh. After dabbling in stand-up during his twenties, Rodia put comedy on hold and pursued a successful career as a finance manager at a luxury car dealership. But in 2019, he took the leap — quitting his day job to chase his passion full-time. The result? A meteoric rise fueled by relentless hustle and razor-sharp storytelling.

In less than a year, Rodia performed over 100 shows in just nine months, and within three years, he’d built an audience that many comedians only dream of — 900,000+ social media followers and over 22 million YouTube views.

🎤 Real Life, Loud Laughs

Rodia’s comedy draws directly from real life, blending sharp observations on marriage, parenthood, cultural quirks, and, of course, road rage. His viral “Road Rage Wednesday” videos became a staple during quarantine, offering a much-needed laugh at a time when everyone was stuck at home.

And who could forget Uncle Vinny and Zia Lucia — the no-filter, old-school relatives that fans everywhere can’t get enough of. Rodia’s spot-on impersonations have made these characters a beloved part of his growing comedy universe.

🍷 From Punchlines to Pinot

In 2021, Rodia took his brand one step further by launching Rodia Wines. Paying homage to his viral personas, the wine line features Uncle Vinny’s Red Blend and Zia Lucia’s White Blend — both crafted to pair perfectly with your favorite Italian meal (and maybe a few laughs, too). You can grab a bottle online at rodiawines.myshopify.com, with local retail expansion in the works.

🎧 A Little Bit of Laughs Podcast

Rodia also co-hosts the “Little Bit of Laughs” podcast on Podcast One, teaming up with longtime radio personality Goumba Johnny. Together, the duo dives into current events, pranks, listener stories, and plenty of off-the-cuff rants. It’s another way fans can get a weekly dose of Rodia’s signature style — unfiltered, funny, and always real.

📺 National Exposure, Local Roots

Whether appearing on FOX’s Good Day New York, Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, or News 12’s Elizabeth & Elisa, Rodia is everywhere these days. His relatable, family-driven humor has earned him the unofficial title of “King of Off-the-Boat Comedy.”
