Summary

TOM RHODES is a world traveling comedian who is now celebrating his 30th year as a stand up comedian. The New York Times describes him as “A mostly natural intellect with a knack for reporting the harsh realities of life with a dark and absurdly optimistic cynicism.” Rhodes has built a career that not only includes stand-up specials, a sitcom (NBC’s Mr. Rhodes), a travel show, a late night talk show (in Holland), and numerous live CD’s & DVD’s, one of which (“Rhode Scholar”) Laughspin.com named the Number One Comedy DVD of that year. As a featured travel writer for Huffington Post, his travel story ‘A Tragedy, A Miracle And A Brawl…Welcome to Ireland’ was awarded “one of the Top 10 Best Travel Stories.” Tom became the first comedian to sign a development deal with Comedy Central and performed at the first ever HBO Aspen Arts Festival. At the Montreal International Comedy Festival, he was discovered by an NBC talent scout which led to a development deal to create his own sitcom. His podcast, "Tom Rhodes Radio" was named one of the Top 10 of Best Podcasts by Matador Network and was praised as the best newcomer in The Onion's A.V. Club. Since 2013, "Tom Rhodes Radio" joined Bill Burr's & Al Madrigal’s All Things Comedy Network. You can catch his newest stand-up special, “Light Sweet Crude,” now on Netflix.
