Tommy Chunn

Tommy Chunn (read more here) knew from a very young age that his calling was to make people laugh, including himself.  His charismatic personality and boyish charm is impossible to resist.  Through highly animated facial expressions, physical contortions, masterful use of word-play, innuendo and dead on point impersonations, Tommy tells stories which draw from the hardships of his own life experiences, falling nothing short of hilarious. His smart-eclectic style breaks through the bounds of ethnic and social division.

Some of those fortunate enough to experience a Tommy Chunn performance include the audiences of the HBO Russell Simmons comedy specials (3 appearances), FOX Network, Def Jam Prime Time special, 60 Minutes comedy special, Evening at the Improv, B.E.T. Comic View (won producer’s choice award), appearing with Harry Belafonte, Roy Ayers, Isaac Hayes, Neol Pointer, Martin Lawrence, Dennis Miller, Tim Allen and Richard Pryor.
