Comedian Tony Rock is probably sick of people mentioning he’s Chris Rock's little brother. But, he'd be compared to Chris even if they weren’t related, because both their routines tend to be heavily battered in class and race, and well-seasoned with both the F-word and the N-word.

Comedian Tony Rock is probably sick of people mentioning he’s Chris Rock's little brother. But, he'd be compared to Chris even if they weren’t related, because both their routines tend to be heavily battered in class and race, and well-seasoned with both the F-word and the N-word. In Tony's appearance on Def Comedy Jam, half of his jokes have "white people" or "black people" in the punch line and, yes, fried-chicken jokes too. Thursday through Sunday, Tony performs at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road. Ticket prices range from $15 to $17. For show times call 972-404-8501 or visit improv.com.
