Comedy Key West Presents Tony V Live

 

Comedy Key West hosts an exclusive four-night stand-up residency featuring Massachusetts comedy legend Tony V from Wednesday, April 22 through Saturday, April 25, 2026. Each evening performance kicks off at 8:30 PM at the downtown Key West venue, 218 Whitehead St. Unit 5.

Tony V secured national prominence in 1986 when Showtime Network honored him as "Funniest Person in Massachusetts." This accolade propelled him onto prestigious platforms including HBO, A&E, Comedy Central, and MTV. In an unexpected career highlight, Tony V served as the voice and personality behind American Tourister Luggage's iconic gorilla mascot from 1987 through 1992. Audiences nationwide remember the unforgettable luggage-smashing primate commercials. Tony V's extensive tours in a $45,000 yak hair gorilla suit generated remarkable encounters, including a legendary meeting between the gorilla, Spuds MacKenzie, and Ronald McDonald.

Key West stand-up comedy events operate with specific guidelines. Seating follows a strict first-come, first-served protocol—early arrival guarantees preferred placement. All attendees must observe a two-item minimum purchase requirement. Guests must be 16 years or older due to adult content and language inherent in these comedy presentations.

Love Seat Purchases: One love seat equals two tickets. Parties of two should purchase exactly one love seat. The venue cannot process refunds for duplicate love seat acquisitions on show nights.

During the Performance: The intimate room amplifies every sound. Even whispered conversations distract performers and neighbors. This guideline becomes particularly crucial after beverage service begins.

For party coordination or special accommodations, email the venue in advance. Additional details about Key West comedy shows are available by calling (305) 985-7370.
