From entertaining at corporate events to hosting awards shows or his work as a health and fitness speaker, Tim Wilkins has a serious passion for making people laugh.

As a 20-year veteran stand-up comedian Tim has entertained millions in legendary venues ranging from Radio City Music Hall to chow halls in Afghanistan.
