Rob Delaney to perform at Comedy Attic

Rob Delaney, Comedy Central’s “Funniest Man on Twitter,” will perform this Friday and Saturday at the Comedy Attic.

Tickets are $20, and there is an 8:30 p.m. show and a 10:30 p.m. show on both days.
Delaney’s fame stems from his tweets and ability to catch the attention of his Twitter followers.

The Twitter legend has more than 965,000 followers, such as Cosmopolitan Magazine, the Atlantic and BuzzFeed.

Paste Magazine also dubbed Delaney as one of the “Top 10 Funniest People on Twitter.”
Though he is best known for speaking his mind in fewer than 140 characters, he has also written for Comedy Central and Vice Magazine.

On top of being a comedian and a Twitter aficionado, Delaney is now a published author. His book is titled “Rob Delaney: Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.”

From maintaining his Tumblr to tweeting, he stays busy both online and onstage.
Delaney made an appearance on Netflix with his hour-long special, “Rob Delaney: Live at the Bowery Ballroom,” where he keeps the crowd laughing with jokes about fatherhood, hepatitis and guys who don’t wear pants.

His tour began Nov. 6 in New York City with a book-signing event and will conclude on Jan. 17, 2014, with a stand-up comedy performance in Irvine, Calif.
