Tom Steffen's Stand-up Comedian Profile on Rooftop Comedy

2009 National College Comedy Competition

Tom Steffen looks like a sane person, but don't judge a book by its cover. His off-kilter outlook on life keeps audiences laughing for more. After almost two decades as a successful radio personality and total theatre geek, Tom decided to plunge into a new area of show business and began his comedy career in 2002. He has performed in numerous clubs in the upper Midwest, was a semi-finalist in Acme Comedy Company's 2003 Funniest Person in the Twin Cities contest, and more recently, a 2007 regional contender in Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight Contest. On stage, Tom shares the goofy adventures he finds in everyday living, from toiling away in his cubicle at his "day job," to the absurd and bizarre things to be found in the seemingly ordinary art of conversation. All the while, Tom always manages to find a fresh take on the world around us that is sure to entertain any audience.
