A.G. White Brings His Comedy Crew to Rochester

Comedian A.G. White turned to Instagram on June 28 to reveal that he’s packing up his signature humor and heading to Rochester for a one-night event with his OG crew. The post reads, “ME and MY OG’s will have a night in ROCHESTER !!! YOURS TRULY @comedianagwhite @talentdacomedian @freddie_ricks546 @kennywillcomedy,” signaling a treat for laughs outside his usual Brooklyn stomping grounds.

Background

A veteran of New York’s comedy circuit, A.G. White has gained momentum over the last few years as a host and performer. He runs the popular Taco Backyard Comedy Series in East Brooklyn, a bi-weekly Thursday night showcase noted for pairing guilty-pleasure eats with a lineup of stand-up from comics “from all major networks,” as he highlighted in a June Instagram post. Season 3 kicked off on June 5 at East Coast Street Tacos, where fans enjoyed tacos, drinks and punchy sets under the summer sky. White has also shared highlights from a sold-out Apollo Theater night where he worked alongside original bad girl of comedy Luenell, marking a career milestone that drew praise on his feed.

Crew Lineup

White’s own announcement tags three familiar faces on the bill. Talent Da Comedian (@talentdacomedian) has carved out a reputation for witty observational bits and quick delivery on the underground circuit. Freddie Ricks (@freddie_ricks546) brings a relaxed, conversational style peppered with personal anecdotes that resonate with diverse audiences. Kenny Will (@kennywillcomedy) rounds out the group with tight, punch-perfect one-liners and social commentary that often goes viral. Together, they make up the “OG’s” referenced in White’s caption—a nod to both their status as scene staples and their genuine off-stage camaraderie.

Next Stop: Rochester

While White has kept venue and ticket details under wraps, local comedy fans are already buzzing. Sources at Rochester’s premier comedy clubs confirm that the show is slated for mid-July, with exact dates and ticket links expected to drop on A.G. White’s Instagram feed later this week. If his Brooklyn events are any guide, tickets will hover around the $20 mark and could include a two-item food or drink minimum—mirroring the Taco Backyard Comedy format. Although the precise venue remains unannounced, insiders point to Comedy at The Carlson as a likely host, given its capacity and track record for spotlighting touring acts.

What To Expect

Attendees can prepare for a mix of styles: White’s own sets typically blend sharp observational humor with playful crowd work, while his OG’s each bring distinct flavors. The event promises a loose, late-night vibe, with quick-change transitions and a roster rotation that keeps the energy high. Given White’s experience hosting sold-out Brooklyn events and his successful collaborations with Live Nation on past projects, fans are hopeful the Rochester show will follow suit. Merchandise—including limited-edition tees promoting his Taco Backyard Comedy Series—may also make an appearance, based on White’s recent collaborations with local designers.

With this latest announcement, A.G. White reinforces his commitment to expanding comedy beyond New York’s boroughs, bringing fresh talent and established acts to new audiences. Rochester’s comedy scene has shown steady growth in recent years, and White’s night there should add to the calendar of regional favorites.

As White himself wrote, it’s a night “YOURS TRULY” won’t want fans to miss—a chance to catch a homegrown host and his comrades in a city ready for laughs.
