Tymon's always been super supportive of me and he's a staple at the Fourth Wall Noho. Tymon performs at cruises and has a long history of comedy and writing. I learned so much from talking to him. Thank you so much for the visit, Tymon!!Tymon's advice on comedians should be reading more was spot on. “Remember that you are a business. If you can’t help these clubs make money, they won’t just hire you just cause of your comedic art.Working clean and wide is best in the beginning to get your face in the door. Always be humble and willing to learn.”With over 25–30 years on stage, Tymon has delivered clean, relatable comedy that draws from his childhood and everyday life. He’s performed at top clubs across Los Angeles, including The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, the Improv, and more.
