  • Bio

    No one from his New York City neighborhood in The Bronx is surprised to see Edward Tyll on stage making people laugh.

    Catholic-schooled and street-raised, Tyll is the only child of Italian-American and Polish-American parents. As a kid his life revolved around stickball, the New York Yankees, his rock and roll garage bands, his Bill Cosby comedy albums and The New York Daily News.

    No matter where he was or what was going on, Tyll was cutting up and never shutting up.

    After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Sociology, Tyll went on to Law School. An accomplished debater and a passionate speaker, Tyll realized he was more entertainer than attorney.

    Tyll appears on network TV and hosted a syndicated radio show heard in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans, Seattle and many other major cities. He is the voice behind national advertisers including The Ford Motor Company.

    Tyll’s sense of humor and his hyperkinetic delivery come to him naturally. He is a story teller, a social critic, and he moves as fast as the pop culture he loves, on and off stage.

    Tyll lives in New York City and performs at The Broadway Comedy Club in Times Square.

About me:

.. .. 1980 to 2003 As a talk radio host, nationally syndicated to cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Dallas, Miami, Seattle, Atlanta, New Orleans, and guest on shows like ABC's INTO THE NIGHT and FOX's PERSONALITIES and THE LEEZA GIBBONS SHOW and CNN's TALKBACK LIVE, I wanted more creative, editorial freedom.

2004 Hosting comedy shows at Sal's Comedy Hole in Greenwich Village, I enjoyed working with Dean Edwards from Saturday Night Live, Mark Theobald from Chapelle's Show, Al Lubell from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman and Rick Shapiro from HBO's Lucky Louie.

2006 I started headlining MAD BOY shows at The Village Ma on MacDougal Street and The Village Lantern on Bleecker Street.

2007 I worked with Todd Lynn, Patty Rosborough, Rick Crom and Ed Ayres on the Mid Life Meltdown Comedy Tour that premiered at The Broadway Comedy Club and played at the Wings Theatre in Greenwich Village.

2009 After 2 years on the road between Grand Junction, Colorado and Macon, Georgia playing for people who are eating and drinking, I am back home in New York City.

I do stand up comedy regularly at Broadway Comedy Club and Ochi's Lounge at COMIX Comedy Club. Several times a year I do my one man show SACRED COW BURGER.

MEDIA

TODD LYNN, COMEDY CENTRAL
"I have never seen someone so committed to a joke."

BRIAN, THE UNION BAR, CHICAGO
Ed, you crazy bastard. You are still pretty funny. Last time I saw you was at some ACLU thing you performed at a bar in Chicago 17 years ago.

NEW YORK COMEDY CLUB
Audiences love him.

MIDLIFE COMEDY CRISIS SHOW
Funny, brilliant stuff that really got the crowd going.

ATLANTA MAGAZINE
Watching Tyll is like watching Bruce Springsteen with an argument instead of a song.
