Tony V started his stand-up comedy career in 1982 after attending several shows at Boston's prestigious Comedy Connection.

Tony was working his way toward a Masters degree in social work having graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a B. S. in Psychology. It was not long after that he took to the stage himself. Tony's street-wise humor tempered with a genuine feel for the human condition quickly propelled him to headliner status on the national comedy club circuit.In 1986 Tony V was named "Funniest Person in Massachusetts" by Showtime television. He followed this achievement with several performances on HBO, the Arts and Entertainment Network, Comedy Central and MTV.
