WILSON is one of the premiere stand up comedians in the country,
boasting appearances on The Tonight Show with both Jay Leno
and Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Regis, as well as Good Morning
America, The Today Show and CBS This Morning.
Internationally he's appeared on Tonight Live in Australia, Good Morning, Great Britain, and literally hundreds of local
television and radio programs around the world. He's starred in
comedy specials on NBC, Global Television in Canada, and on myraid
cable networks, and has written and performed his one man show, Cowboy Tommy to critical acclaim and full houses across North
America.
Fanatically eager to get onstage, when Broadway didn't answer
the door quickly enough, he began performing stand up comedy in
his teens, while studying to be an actor in New York. Within a
short time, he was headlining in comedy clubs up and down the
east coast, and moved to Los Angeles soon after that. Accepted
as a regular at the world famous Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip
on his first audition, at 21 years old he became a member of the
Comedy Store Players, improvising onstage with the likes of Richard
Pryor, Robin Williams, and the large group of comedy colleagues
who formed the nexus of the modern comedy boom.
He's appeared
in some 25 feature films, including his Saturn award winning performance
in the now classic Back to the Future trilogy, and has
recently been a part of the SpongeBob Squarepants phenomena,
performing many voices in the Nickelodeon series, as well as the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. He's been a recurring character
on many television shows, including Ed, Freaks and Geeks, Do Over, Titus, Maggie, Fired Up,
and been a guest star on Boston Public, Zoey 101, Rodney, Bob Patterson, The Facts of Life,
and many more. Early in his television career, he was even chased
by international mega-superstar and recording artist David Hasselhoff
on the show Knight Rider.
But the stage
is where he feels most at home. He has performed as a headliner
at the top comedy clubs in the country for years, and for tens
of thousands as an opening act for Rodney Dangerfield, and rock
bands such as Three Dog Night, Fleetwood Mac, Missing Persons,
and The Tubes, and has performed his act for corporate events
of every kind, from a small, select group of one hundred or less,
to Las Vegas conventions of many thousands, with his trademark
blend of energy and fun, without the use of easy vulgarity and
material met with fewer laughs than gasps of discomfort. He's
performed for audiences as diverse as a screaming rock and roll
stadium, to a large conference made up largely of priests and
nuns. And he had both crowds roaring.
His combination
of storytelling, solid stand up, and hilarious music, combine
to make a unique package in the arena of live performance. A pop
cultural icon who doesn't rest on his laurels, but reaches out
to connect with and entertain every audience, Tom Wilson is one
of a kind.
