Summary For more than fifty years, Tom Dreesen has delivered a special brand of stand-up comedy that is down-to-earth, warm, and unpretentious. Daily Variety called him "one of the most respected family comedians of our time." From inauspicious beginnings as one of eight children in a poor neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, Dreesen fought his way off the dark streets onto the brightest stages in entertainment history. With more than five hundred national TV appearances, including dozens of guest spots on The Tonight Show and The Late Show with David Letterman, and during his fourteen-year stint as Frank Sinatra's opening act, Tom Dreesen has earned his spot as a legend of the entertainment industry. And he is still standing and going strong, appearing around the country on tour and as a popular event emcee and motivational speaker.
