Tom Simmons won the 2009 San Francisco Comedy Competition, an event from which talents
like Robin Williams and Ellen DeGeneres rose to fame. This win is the latest milestone in a 15-
year career that has always been dedicated to one crowd-pleasing denominator: “I want the
time people are at my show to be the most enjoyable part of their entire day.” Such enthusiasm
made him also a two-time finalist at the Boston Comedy Festival.
