Comedian Tom Cotter took the comedy scene by storm after finishing
runner-up and becoming the Breakout Star from Season 7’s “America’s
Got Talent.” He lost to a dog act, but don’t hold that against him; Tom was
the first comedian ever to be a finalist on the show and was the highest
finishing human being on the show that year. The next year, AGT asked
Tom back to perform as a special guest star (along with Train) and then
again, to host “The Season 8 AGT Snapple Viewing Party.” More recently
Tom was again invited back to the AGT stage – this time to perform against
the best of the best “Got Talent” performers from other years and around
the world in “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.” In one of the most
talked about sets of the entire competition, Tom received a STANDING
OVATION from the adoring crowd. Tom’s other numerous televisions and
radio credits include “The Tonight Show,” “Last Comic Standing,” his
very own “Comedy Central Presents… Tom Cotter,” The Howard Stern
Show, Comics Unleashed, multiple appearance on CBS’ “The Late Late
Show” and Celebrity Host of “Gotham Comedy Live” on AXS-TV. You
can find Tom headlining all of America’s most famous comedy clubs
including: The Comedy Cellar, The Improv and Caroline’s on Broadway
just to name a few. Tom has also been featured at the Montreal “Just For
Laughs” Festival, the HBO Comedy Arts Festival and headlining
“America’s Got Talent Live” show at the Palazzo, Las Vegas. And recently,
Tom was on the dais and took part in the Friars Club Roast of Boomer
Esiason at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Tom co-starred on an
episode of CBS’ “The Good Wife.” In addition, Tom has performed in a
wide variety of venues from Alaska to China. His appeal is truly
international as he was summoned to London to tour and perform on British
Television, and won The Seattle International Stand-Up Comedy
Competition and Boston Comedy Festival as The Boston Herald noted
“Winning by the largest margin of victory in the history of the event.” Tom’s
first book, “Bad Dad: A Guide to Pitiful Parenting” (Willow Street Press)
a collection of jokes, gags, one-liners and pithy bad advice for fed-up
parents, is available everywhere.
Lastly, Tom’s hysterical new One Hour Special “Tom Cotter: Rapid
Fire” is currently streaming on multiple platforms including Amazon Prime
and Apple TV. So, whether it be comedy, voice-overs, or acting, Tom Cotter
gives it everything he’s got. “If laughter is the best medicine, I yearn to be
drugged.”
