In a raucous stand up career spanning 25 years and 7 continents, Tom Rhodes has been on HBO, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and filmed two half hour specials for Comedy Central “Comedy Central presents…Tom Rhodes”. Tom was also the host of his own late night talk show in Amsterdam for Dutch television. It is Tom Rhodes biological function to make people laugh and forget about their problems. It started when he was a boy, when his parents argued ferociously he would act silly or say absurd things and there would be peace in their house for a brief period. It has been his dream to be a stand-up comedian since he was 12 and with a fake ID he started when he was 17 and have done no other job since. His hands are as soft as a baby’s bottom for lack of hard labor in his life. He thinks nothing is more powerful than the written word and monumental ideas for world solutions expressed through comedy. He believes that all we have in this world is the art we leave behind after we are dead and that no other measurement can sum up a life’s worth. He believe it’s also possible to change someone’s life for the better by just showing them a drop of kindness. His goal in life is to make people piss their pants with laughter. Enjoy!

Quality instead of quantity has always been the strategy of The English Comedy Club. Munich had the pleasure of welcoming around 100 of the best comedians over the past 5 years. To continue the high standard, the promoter has decided to run the club on an irregular basis in 2010. Once a new show is scheduled the club will run the show in the previously very successful two days format. (Sunday and Monday)
