As a comedian, producer, columnist, TV and Radio co-host, teacher and publicist, Tommy has worked with, around, and for hundreds of comedians. Here he shares the life-changing lessons he learned from each of them.

He’s brought some of these lessons to seminars at corporations like AT&T, The SUN Company, DuPont, American Express, and SONY, to list a few, and taught them at Philadelphia’s Temple University. While Tommy’s goal as a performer is to use humor to “entertain, inform, uplift, and heal,” much the same can be said about the goal of this book.
