Performance artist, comedian and actor, Tommy Savitt was born in New Jersey and bred in Brooklyn. His unique comedic style sets him apart from other comedians. His unorthodox routines envelop his audience, and takes them to a place of non-stop laughs.

Savitt has appeared on multiple television shows: WGN's "The Bob & Tom Show", SI Tv's "Funny is Funny", Comcast On Demand, "Man Up Stand Up" on MavTv and JLTV's " James and Sunda. " He has also starred in dozens of national commercials, such as: Adidas, Monster.com and Lowe's. His comedy CD "Who Wants Me Now!" is one of the top requested comedy albums on satellite radio.

Savitt is passionate about bringing laughter to those that sacrifice for our country. This mission has brought him to Air Force, Army and Naval bases in Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, Japan, South Korea, Bahrain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Curacao, Honduras and Ecuador. Savitt has done it all - even performing at the United States Embassy in Belarus.

Savitt has also gone international in other ways, making his mark on the Canadian comedy circuit, headlining Saskatoon's Great Plains Comedy Festival and Calgary's FunnyFest. He was honored for the "Best In Comedy" category at the 2009 LA Comedy Awards.
