By 1907, Tinney was performing at vaudeville venues in the United States and Canada. He made his New York debut in 1910 appearing in vaudeville shows headed by Gertrude Hoffman and later Eva Tanguay, which led the following year to a spot in the Shubert brothers’ Revue of Revues at the Winter Garden Theatre. Tinney appeared in a number of Broadway hits over the dozen years of his career. He played Noah in A Winsome Widow, a 1912 Ziegfeld adaptation of Charles Hoyt's A Trip to Chinatown. A Winsome Widow starred Emmy Wehlen and featured a very young Mae West. Tinney performed in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1913 and the musical revues, Watch You Step (1914/1915), The Century Girl (1916/1917) and Doing Our Bit (1917/1918). Tinney also recorded for Columbia Records; the appropriately titled "Frank Tinney's First Record" (Columbia 1854), consisting of jokes and Tinney arguing with his bandleader, became a hit in early 1916.
Tinney played himself as the central character in Tickle Me, a popular musical comedy that had a long run on Broadway and in subsequent tours between August 1919 and April 1922. Tinney opened the play with a skit playing his well-known blackface character, then assumed the role of a Hollywood studio property manager. Afterward, Tinney dropped blackface from his acts. His last major Broadway hit was the Music Box Revue that had a run of 273 performances between September 1923 and May 1924.
Tinney appeared in at least two motion pictures: The Governor's Boss (1915) with former New York governor William Sulzer and Broadway After Dark (1924), starring Adolphe Menjou, Norma Shearer and Anna Q. Nilsson.
