As much a classic stand-up comedian as he is an actor, talk show host, TV chef, and all around swell guy, Tim Wilkins is definitely someone with a career to keep an eye on! Originally from Southern California, Tim’s non-comedic resume is as interesting, and colorful, as the one that landed him on the various radio, television, and live stages around the world. From his time as a US Marine to working at Victoria’s Secret, it was all a part of the path, and now a part of the act, of a pro whose career in hilarity spans two decades.

Having grown up studying the masters of comedy, Tim prides himself on being clean without losing his edge and bringing something new, fresh, and real to every topic he tackles. He pokes fun at things we can all relate to like raising a family, attempting to stay healthy in a sea of misinformation, and trying to keep up with the latest technology, which seems to ‘I-pass’ him by a little more every day.

For the last 10 years, Tim has been a headliner on international cruise lines appealing to all demographics with his original and clever material. Also a favorite choice for concert promoters, he has toured as the opening act for some of the legends of music such as Earth, Wind & Fire, The Righteous Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Olivia Newton John, Engelbert Humperdinck, Hall & Oates, Styx, David Cassidy, Belinda Carlisle, Ann Margret, Paul Anka, Julio Iglesias, and many more.

In June of 2005, Tim strapped back on his camouflage, flak jacket, and armed himself with jokes when he joined the ‘Comics on Duty’ World Tour, entertaining our troops in Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, and at stateside bases. Having grown up watching legends like Bob Hope give back to the men and women who give so much, this was, and hopefully will continue to be, a dream come true.

Also in 2005 Tim released his first CD, “Tim Wilkins-Big Time Comedian”, garnering rave reviews and consistent airplay on XM and Sirius Satellite radio. In 2006, he got his biggest break yet, becoming the co-host of the Monday through Friday live morning talk show “Studio 10”, a CBS affiliate in Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL.  Through this trial-by-fire career break , Tim found himself covering a range that spanned from local community events, authors and artists, as well as interviewing national entertainment icons from TV, music, and movies.  Studio 10 also gave him the opportunity to pursue another dream; becoming a TV chef on a weekly segment called “Tim Cooks Smart”.  This segment whisked together his kitchen skills and original recipes along with his offbeat cooking comedy, and was underwritten by Smart Balance Foods.  Could that smell be that he’s Regis, Rachel Ray and Johnny Carson rolled in to one?

In 2007, as a finalist in the national Lucky 21 comedy contest, he made his way to Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas to perform in The Comedy Festival for HBO.  Most recently he released his 2nd CD, “Tim Wilkins-Live @ Sidesplitter’s”.  While not a terribly creative name, the CD received very positive reviews and a one hour comedy special on XM radio called “Behind the Ha Haas”.
