Stuttering John Melendez, the iconic comic and media personality from the Howard Stern Show, will headline a live stand-up performance at Rodney’s New York Comedy Club on Friday, February 27, 2026 at 7:30 PM.

Melendez first gained national fame through his years on the Howard Stern Show, where his fearless interview style and on-air presence made him a standout personality. He later spent a decade as announcer and writer on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and has continued touring as a stand-up comic across the country.

Rodney’s New York Comedy Club operates inside the historic venue founded by the late Rodney Dangerfield and remains one of New York City’s most respected rooms for stand-up comedy.

“This is New York comedy the way it’s supposed to be,” said Stuttering John Melendez. “Rodney’s has real history, real crowds, and no room for safe material. I’m bringing everything to this show, the stories, the truth, and the stuff I probably shouldn’t say but will anyway.”

Audiences can expect sharp commentary, personal stories from behind the scenes of radio and television, and a no-filter performance shaped by decades in entertainment.
