Growing up in Buffalo, New York, comedian/author Tom Irwin cites his most profound comic influences as the Bills losing four consecutive Super Bowls, K-mart and a two year enlistment in the U.S. Army. After years of working comedy clubs and colleges in both the United States and Canada, he now lives in Los Angeles, California. Among career highlights such as being asked to perform at the White House in Washington, D.C., eating off of Neil Sedaka's catering tray, opening for Doobie Brothers and Eric Benet, Irwin admits being asked to entertain American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan as his proudest acheivement to date. Tom's credits also include the recent publication of his first book "I Want a Girl" Thoughts on the Perfect Companion. (www.iwantagirl.net)
