When you think of comedian Tom Myers, you think of a comedian who is not afraid to try anything new onstage. Tom presents a different kind of comedy, a kind of comedy that appeals to the big city intelligencia yet can also play to the small-town crowds.
Tom has performed in nine states plus DC, 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 also been featured on radio, television and in print media all over the country.
So why not come out and see Tom, a comedian who cares about entertaining you (and a great writer of 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 the 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 April 2008, Tom made his debut on Local Point TV, a DC-based channel on Comcast.
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, South Carolina, New Jersey, New York and the District of Columbia including major cities such as Baltimore, Richmond, Philadelphia, Washington and New York City as well as college crowds at Goucher College and Coppin State in Baltimore as well as Virginia Tech and Clemson University.
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 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, which also features clips of "The Myers Experience," is available for purchase on his website as well as at CD Baby , Tower Records Online , Amazon.com , MT6 Records Online and Apple iTunes .
Tom is currently in the process of recording album number two. More details forthcoming!
In September of 2006, Tom was one of the founders (along with Brett the Irish Comic) of the Heathens of Comedy .
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.
