From the school gym to the comedy stage, Tom is a former elementary school PE teacher turned stand-up comedian and viral content creator. With a background as a professional wrestler and a love for all things fitness, Tom brings a unique blend of high-energy humor and real-life parenting chaos to both his live shows and online audience.
After training at iO Chicago and The Second City Conservatory, Tom began performing stand-up in 2015. In 2020, he launched his social media alter ego, The Angry Gym Teacher, and quickly gained traction with his wildly relatable sketches and teacher life parodies.
Tom’s comedic style is sharp, honest, and hilariously wholesome, drawing from his experiences as a teacher, twin dad, and former athlete. He’s performed at top comedy clubs including Zanies, Helium, and Funny Bone, and currently tours nationally as part of the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour.
Whether he’s on stage or on screen, Tom is proof that a little chaos, a lot of honesty, and a killer punchline go a long way.
