America's Got Talent Finalist TOM COTTER Headlines The Newton Theatre

originally published: 11/24/2013


(Newton, NJ) -- Comedian Tom Cotter will perform at the Newton Theatre on Saturday, April 26th, 2014. Tom Cotter has taken the comedy scene by storm since finishing in 2nd place on America's Got Talent in 2012. He lost to a dog act, but donʼt hold that against him! Tom was the first comedian ever to be a finalist on the show and was the highest finishing human being on the show that year.

In August 2013, America's Got Talent asked Tom back to perform as a special guest star, along with Train, and then again to host The 2013 Snapple Viewing Party episode. Tom is currently shooting a TV pilot for NBC.

Tom's other numerous television and radio credits include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, his very own special Comedy Central Presents... Tom Cotter, The Howard Stern Show and, most recently, a return appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Tom also plays in America's most famous comedy clubs including, The Improv, Catch a Rising Star, The Gotham Comedy Club and Caroline's On Broadway just to name a few. Tom has also been featured at The Montreal "Just For Laughs" Festival, the HBO Aspen Comedy Arts Festival and headlining "America's Got Talent Live" at The Palazzo Las Vegas.

Tom has performed at over 300 colleges and in a wide variety of venues from Alaska to China. His appeal is truly international as he was summoned to London to tour and perform on British Television, and won The Seattle International Stand-Up Comedy Competition. He also won the Boston Comedy Festival, as The Boston Herald noted "winning by the largest margin of victory in the history of the event."

Versatility has allowed Tom to excel in other areas of showbiz as well. His voice has become a familiar staple in commercial voice-overs for many high profile clients including NBC, MTV, Pepsi, McDonald's, Chevrolet and Converse.

Whether it be comedy, voice-overs, or acting, Tom Cotter gives it everything he's got. "If laughter is the best medicine, I yearn to be drugged."
