Tom got his start in storytelling comedy on a little island on Cass Lake in northern Minnesota at an amazing place called Camp Unistar. From there, he’s performed as Fr. Vito at the the Bryant Lake Bowl, Blue Harbor in St. Paul, The Black Forest Inn in Minneapolis, Sacred Clay Farm in Lanesboro and most recently at Solomon’s Porch in South Minneapolis! He’s also done many shows at the amazing Temple of Fashion in St. Paul, Minnesota and on zoom, since everyone else is.

Tom is an actual former Catholic priest, who left the priesthood and was officially laiacized by the Vatican, ten years after leaving in 1995, so he knows the role pretty-well. He is attempting to de-shame his own story using humor, music and creativity. No, he didn’t abuse anyone, shame on you for thinking it.

You can see videos and more about the show here.

The vision for the show is “To channel transformation and healing for all who feel disconnected from their original religious community–using humor, music and courageous vulnerability.”
