About this event
Rodney Owen delivers a hilarious and heartfelt show, sharing raw, relatable stories of life’s struggles—from dating to near-death—with the message that laughter truly makes life easier.

Rodney Owen brings you a comedy show that’s as real as it is ridiculous—a hilarious and heartfelt journey through life’s messiest moments.

From battling weight issues and awkward first dates to the chaos of marriage, parenting, and even near-death experiences, Rodney lays it all out with brutal honesty and sharp wit. Nothing is off-limits as he dives into childhood bullying, family drama, and the universal struggles we all face—but might be too afraid to say out loud.

Rodney doesn’t just tell jokes—he tells stories. Stories that hit close to home. Stories that make you laugh, then think, then laugh even harder. With his signature blend of raw emotion and relatable humor, he proves that comedy isn’t just about punchlines—it’s about connection. And in a world that often feels overwhelming, Rodney shows us that sometimes the best thing we can do is find the funny in the hard stuff.

This isn’t your average stand-up show. It’s a night of real talk, deep belly laughs, and a reminder that we’re all just doing our best to get through life—one awkward, hilarious moment at a time.

If you’ve ever struggled, stumbled, or just wondered if it’s okay to laugh through the pain, this show is for you. Rodney Owen turns life’s hardest moments into comedy gold, reminding us all that while life’s hard, laughter makes it a little easier to bear.

Come along for a night of stories, stand-up, and resilience—and leave with a full heart and sore cheeks from laughing.
