Tom Cotter Biography

If laughter is the best medicine, prepare to be heavily medicated. Tom Cotter's high-energy, rapid-fire style of comedy leaves audiences clutching their sides and rolling in the aisles. Tom Cotter was the first comedian to ever reach the finals of NBC’s "America's Got Talent," where he was not only a finalist but also the runner-up and Breakout Star from Season 7. His memorable performance garnered him a standing ovation during "America’s Got Talent: The Champions."

Before his historic run on the world’s largest talent competition, Cotter won the Seattle International Comedy Competition, the grand prize at The Boston Comedy Festival, and was voted "Best Stand-Up" at The Las Vegas Comedy Festival. He has become a familiar face on television, appearing on "The Tonight Show," NBC’s "Last Comic Standing," and "The Today Show," as well as hosting his own series, "TWO-FUNNY," on The Women’s Entertainment Network. Other TV credits include CBS’ "The Late Late Show," Comedy Central’s "Premium Blend," "Comics Unleashed," and a Barbara Walters Prime-Time Special, among many others. He also co-starred in an episode of CBS’ “The Good Wife.”

Cotter has performed at over 300 colleges and a wide variety of venues worldwide, from London to Beijing, to the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. He has headlined at major comedy clubs such as The Comedy Cellar, The Improv, and Caroline's on Broadway. His international performances include shows in London and across the United States, and he has also appeared at the Montreal "Just For Laughs" Festival and the HBO Comedy Arts Festival. Additionally, Cotter is an accomplished author, having written "Bad Dad: A Guide to Pitiful Parenting." He specializes in comedy and humor, and his presentations, varying from 30 to 90 minutes, can include keynote speeches, Q&A sessions, and interactive elements tailored to specific themes, industries, or audiences.
