Tom has performed in twelve states plus the District of Columbia, playing at not only comedy clubs and colleges, but also in theaters, art spaces, bars and restaurants for such diverse groups as high school and college students, senior citizens, cancer survivors and also for our nation's wounded soldiers during performances at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital. Tom has been featured on radio, television and in print media throughout the East Coast.

So come out and see Tom, a comedian who cares about entertaining you (and writing in the third person). Or better yet, request him at a performance venue near you.

Tom Myers started performing stand-up comedy in 2001 at Goucher College. Since then, he performed at various events on campus before he graduated in 2005 with a degree in History. His first comedy club appearance was in January of 2004 at Tootsie's Comedy Club, located at the 152 Bar and Grill in his hometown of Fallston, Maryland. Additionally, he also performed at the Baltimore Comedy Factory, where he competed in his first Funniest Person in Baltimore competition. In February 2006, Tom made his debut at the Improv Comedy Club in Washington, DC when he performed at the DC Comedy Showcase contest. Although he didn't place, Tom proved to those in doubt that he could win over an audience in a professional comedy club setting. In October 2006, Tom performed for a hundred wounded soldiers and their families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. In 2007, Tom started to hit the road more with shows away from his home base. In April 2008, Tom made his debut on Local Point TV, a DC-based channel on Comcast. Tom quickly followed that up with an appearance at Magooby's Joke House in Baltimore, MD, where he was taped for Baltimore's Comcast on Demand Local Comedy Spotlight. His performance was released in 2009.

In just a few years, Tom has entertained (and even puzzled) audiences using his unique sense of humor as well as his political and social insights in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia including major cities such as Baltimore, Richmond, Philadelphia, Washington and New York City.

In addition to being a stand-up comic, Tom had his own show on Goucher Student Radio while he was in college. For two hours a week during the semesters, he hosted, wrote and produced "The Myers Experience," where he commented on news stories using his acerbic sense of humor.

Tom is also an actor. He played the role of the Hatter, a bitter aging comedian, in Alice in Americaland at the 2001 Harford County Drama Festival during his senior year at Fallston High School. In 2004, he performed in two original stage productions, The Newport Flower Convention and DIN, at Goucher. That same year, he appeared in Goucher's production of the Jean-Paul Sartre play No Exit. This role kept Tom on stage without a break for 96 minutes and is one of Tom's strongest dramatic roles.

On 24 September 2004, Tom produced and starred in his own one-man political show, Words of Mass Destruction, at Goucher and self-released a CD of the same title two weeks later! On August 24, 2006, Words of Mass Destruction was re-released on MT6 Records, an independent label based in Baltimore. The CD also features clips of "The Myers Experience," in addition to the Words of Mass Destruction comedy show.

Tom currently resides in Fallston, Maryland, and performs mainly in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. He looks forward to seeing you at one (or all) of his shows.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"A satirist at heart, Myers draws inspiration mainly from mixing current events, pop culture, and politics to create an amusing form of social commentary." - The Quindecim (9/2004)

"Tom Myers obviously wants to provoke and be edgy. There is a definite aspiration to be one of those comics who do jokes about American politics. There is an obvious wish to do the kind of comedy Lewis Black, Bill Maher, or Will Durst do so well." - Richard Lanoie, comedy-gags-jokes.com (11/2005)

"Last night, Tom performed at Walter Reed Medical Center. I can easily recommend him for any show. He was quick to respond to my call for comedians. He also brought another comedian, Brett the Irish Com'Mc, which gave us a full ticket. He and Brett were the first to arrive. They were more than helpful. Tom was more ready than any comedian in the show. I am so glad he was there. When he found out the show needed to be 100% clean and 100% non-political, he adjusted his material and it still came off very well. His delivery is very professional. His timing is very tight. He had the crowd rolling. He finished right on time. Again, I recommend Tom for any show you need to book." - "Sensei Ern" Miller (10/13/2006)

"Tom Myers, his tenacity, and his belief in his comedy showed me alot. He does not worry about all the bullshit and politics that may surround him. He just hits the stage and does his thing every time, with energy and enthusiasm, always giving his all. He gets that each stage is a new audience and they deserve to be given the same level of performance as any other, regardless of how he is feeling. He is dedicated to his trade and works as hard as anyone out there on it. [...] Tom is also a good guy, very genuine and really cares about the show and the comedians" - Irwin Weinstein; Founder, Kaleidoscope Comedy
