Tim Krompier
Comedian Tim Krompier has been entertaining audiences in New York City and all across the country with his original autobiographical style of comedy for several years now. Tim has the sly grin and rage of a 30-something rabid frat boy and the dryness of the exhausted father of three. Pay attention and underneath his devastatingly good looks (his wife told him to write that) and hilarious mockery of marriage, family, and the world around him, lives a little boy who just wants to cuddle. In addition to performing stand up on a nightly basis, Tim is now an executive producer of morning shows services for Premiere Radio a subsidiary of iHeartmedia. You can hear his writing and his voice work on stations from New York to L.A. and even Canada. As you can see Tim is no one trick joke pony. Adding to his performance repertoire over the last several years Tim has become one of the premiere host/moderators in the country after teaming up with Mills Entertainment for their very successful “Back Lot Project”. Tim was recently featured on the MSG Network’s “The Bracket” giving his witty and educated comments on New York sports. He was also featured doing stand-up on AXS TV’s Live at Gotham, and the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. Tim headlines at clubs across the US and Canada and continues to be in high demand for private and corporate events.
