Quitting law school to become a comedian may not be considered the best career choice, but for Tommy, it was the right one. Born in New Jersey and raised in Brooklyn, Tommy has survived the school of hard knocks to craft comedic routines that leaves audiences in fits of laughter (for which he takes no legal responsibility). Tommy is a multi-award winning comedian whose slow and simple delivery dishes out big laughs on just about any topic - from spiritual guidance to business advice to stories of his time in the military. A working comedian for over 20 years, he has been seen on WGN’s “The Bob & Tom Show”, SI TV’s “Funny is Funny”, Comcast’s’ “Boston Comedy Festival”, National Lampoon, “Man Up Stand Up” on Mav.Tv and on JLTV’s “James and Sunda”. As an actor, he has appeared in commercials for Adidas, Monster.com, and Lowe’s and starred as Horatio in Love’s Labours Lost at the Expanded Arts Theatre in New York City. His CD “Who Wants Me Now!” is one of the top requested comedic segments on satellite radio. “They recognize me once they hear my voice”, Savitt says of fans who listen to his clips several times each week on Sirius/XM’s Blue Collar Comedy satellite radio stations. “Some people are flying or driving from other states to catch my show. I am truly blessed.” Having a heart and a funny bone, Tommy has dedicated much of his time performing for our troops here and abroad. His has taken 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. He has even performed at the United States Embassy in Belarus. DJ , Lighting, and Soundman!     Tall caucasian , mild dad bod going on!
