Tony Lavdiotis is a professional comedian who was quoted in 2nd grade as saying the only thing he ever really loved to do was "make people laugh". When asked to describe himself, Tony said, "I look like a cross between Jim Carrey and Derek Jeter and I´m optimistic because I force myself to be. My humor is like one penguin standing 20 feet from a group of 50 other penguins, laughing at how stupid they are right before he gets eaten by a polar bear." Rather than make raunchy, blue jokes about sex, drugs, and alcohol, Tony makes tasteful, clever observations about…sex, drugs and alcohol. Not to worry though, Tony does mix in plenty of unique comedy about his numerous fields of employment, drunk people, and anything else he´s experienced while climbing his way to the top of life´s totem pole.
