A graduate of Columbia University, Tom spent&nbsp;his summers in Chicago taking classes at Second City and Improv Olympic (with the legendary Del Close). After college, Tom stayed in New York to study with Groundlings East/Gotham&nbsp;City Improv&nbsp;where he became a member of the performing company, an instructor, and the Artistic Director. He eventually&nbsp;left for LA where he wrote for SHOWTIME television and appeared in a handful of national commercials and feature films. Tom has since settled in Asheville, NC, where he is an Adjunct Professor at Warren Wilson College and runs his own academy, The Asheville School of Improv. He is part of the popular improv troupe, Reasonably Priced Babies, the host and producer of the long-running storytelling&nbsp;series,&nbsp;<em>Listen to This,</em>&nbsp;and co-host of the weekly sports talk radio show,&nbsp;<em>Run That Back</em>, on AshevilleFM. Tom also somehow finds time to contribute articles and reviews to the music website,&nbsp;<em>Asheville&nbsp;Stages</em>.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Upcoming shows:</p><p>Listen to This, stories and more on stage, at Story Parlor in West Asheville</p><p>\"If Only They Were Here To See This\" - true tales of memorable memorial moments</p><p>Thursday, September&nbsp;28th, at 7:30pm</p><p><a href=\"https://storyparloravl.com/calendar/listen-to-this-sept-2023\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://storyparloravl.com/calendar/listen-to-this-sept-2023</a></p><p><br></p><p>Reasonably Priced Babies at Black Mountain Center for the Arts</p><p>Friday, October 13th at 7pm</p><p><a href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reasonably-priced-babies-improv-show-tickets-673859520967?aff=oddtdtcreator\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reasonably-priced-babies-improv-show-tickets-673859520967?aff=oddtdtcreator</a></p><p><br></p><p>EBE is:</p><p>Producer - Tamara Federici&nbsp;</p><p>Editor/Producer - Will Velasquez.</p><p>Audio Engineer - Clark Jackson.</p><p>Publicity - Will Brierly</p><p>Coordinator - Mary Leer</p><p>Social Media - Jonah Katz</p><p>Artwork by Simon Morris Winheld&nbsp;</p><p>IG: @simon_morris_winheld</p><p><br></p><p>Visit our linktree at @everybandever</p>","author_name":"Tamara Federici"}
