Tommy Smart is a comedian and writer known for his dark, irreverent humor and sharp observational style. Drawing on his Catholic upbringing, family dynamics, and life’s awkward moments, Tommy creates a comedic narrative that feels both raw and relatable. His stand-up often explores the challenges of modern life—like navigating rejection, awkward dating experiences, and the complexities of family relationships—with a biting sense of humor.

Tommy’s comedy is also influenced by his experiences in the entertainment industry, from his background in TV appearances to his current role as the creator of TJ, a half-hour comedy series set in New York. Full-time stand-up since August, he quips that he’s in “unemployment,” but his quick wit and fearless approach to tackling sensitive topics (like anti-Semitism and the sometimes absurdity of religion) have made him a standout in the comedy scene.

As the creator and director of TJ, Tommy channels his own experiences into a project that’s equal parts biting satire and heartfelt tribute to the world of comedy. His unique voice blends sharp wit with emotional depth, capturing the chaos, charm, and heartbreak of chasing the spotlight. When he’s not behind the camera or on stage, Tommy can be found dissecting the perfect punchline, eating too much pizza, and arguing with people at the DMV.
