Tom Hearn

Tom Hearn’s the kind of performer who makes you wonder if he’s got some kind of secret stash of Red Bull in his dressing room. Born out in New Brunswick—yeah, that’s right, the land of seafood and foggy mornings—he made the move to Toronto and basically never slowed down. If you’ve caught any live shows in the city, you’ve probably seen him tearing up the stage, whether he’s cracking up crowds as a sketch comedian, writing up a storm, or rocking wigs and heels as a drag queen. He’s not just another face in the crowd, either. This guy’s actually snagged a Canadian Comedy Award, which, let’s be real, is no easy feat. And he’s got some serious mileage with The Second City National Touring Company—think legendary comedy, but on the road. Tom’s been all over the place, popping up at sketch comedy festivals in Montreal, San Francisco, Chicago, and of course, his hometown Toronto. He’s done the big ones too: Just for Laughs, JFL42, Halifax Fringe, you name it. If you’re the type who binges TV, you might’ve caught him on “Children Ruin Everything” (CTV) or “Good Sam” (CBS). Oh, and he’s about to make a splash in the upcoming feature film “Making Scents of Love.” Honestly, if Tom’s name is on the poster, you know you’re in for a wild, hilarious ride. The dude’s hustle is unreal, and he’s just getting started.
