Tony P is a lover of all things Buffalo and using his name in the third person. I am a comedian who left Buffalo for the bright lights of Las Vegas only to return a decade later because that power bill was expensive! Born in South Buffalo, I grew up in Hamburg where I graduated from Frontier High School, then somehow graduated again from SUNY Fredonia, and now have made roots in Lancaster. I am a die-hard Bills and Sabres fan and would consider doing almost anything if it meant we could win just once. I don’t feel like that is asking too much but apparently the universe seems to disagree. I am married and have two beautiful children that I am completely open to trading for a championship. I’m kidding of course; unless you’re serious, universe, then let’s talk. I am new to the radio scene, but talking into mics is kind of my thing. When I’m not on the radio or performing comedy, I enjoy going to the movies, playing poker and writing bio’s about myself.
