Tim's HUGE family taught him to be funny or die. He told jokes to keep his family from either beating him up or using him to test out make-up and hair techniques. Sometimes, it even worked (however, Tim is aware that he is an "autumn" and that he looks best in "viva glam" lipstick and a touch of color in his cheeks).   In the early days of the 21st Century, Tim's career in radio found him working at the legendary Rock powerhouse KSHE-95 in St. Louis where his talents for comedy and advertising copy were honed. Tim was nominated for and won several awards for creative advertising in St. Louis.   As a featured member of St. Louis' improvisational company "CITYimprov" at historical Union Station, Tim developed a local following and spun off into the popular improv troupes 'Throw Chocolate and Run Like Hell' as well as "Grow Arms Grow."   Tim moved to Los Angeles after barnstorming through the Midwest—and can't go back because of that darn restraining order. He found himself at Kent Skov's world-famous LA Connection Improv club and founded "BOP!," an improv troupe which was featured in the 2004 Los Angeles Improv Comedy Festival at the legendary Second City theater in Hollywood.   Tim has written and performed sketch comedy in Hollywood and competed in comedy competitions all over Los Angeles. You'll find him in benefit shows for The Chris Farley Foundation and RxLaughter at UCLA Medical Center. Sometimes you'll even see him at Rite-Aid because, well, he loves ice cream.   He can currently be seen on stage in Hollywood with BOP!, the Improv group he formed, and throughout Los Angeles doing stand-up with Whiteboy Comedy. He's a Sunday night regular at the Improv on Melrose! Check him out at timisfunny.com. Check out BOP! at www.bopcomedy.com. He's also heard on XM Radio on Channel 150.     "When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose." — Zimmerman, '66
