Tommy Todd

Todd was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and began performing comedy as an inaugural member of Exit 1-6, the improv group at Liberty High School in Liberty, Missouri. That early ensemble experience introduced him to the collaborative, audience-driven format that would shape his subsequent career.

After high school, Todd performed improv, stand-up, and sketch comedy across the United States before establishing himself in Las Vegas. He became a core performer with Bleach, a long-form improv ensemble widely regarded as a cornerstone of the Las Vegas improv community. Bleach has performed in Las Vegas for over a decade, presenting a monthly show called Your Show at Vegas Theatre Co. in the city's Arts District. The format centers on a single audience suggestion that the ensemble uses as the basis for a completely improvised play, built in real time by the full cast with musical accompaniment by pianist Faustino Solis. Todd performs alongside fellow ensemble members Eric Angell, Kim Faubel, Neil Corso, and Allison Martone.

Alongside his work with Bleach, Todd has performed in Television TV, a monthly sketch comedy show, and has maintained an active stand-up comedy schedule in Las Vegas and nationally. His career has spanned multiple performance modes across regional and national markets rather than being anchored to a single training institution or performance home. He has also continued to develop stand-up material as a parallel track alongside his improv and sketch work. Todd's comedy career has extended beyond Las Vegas through touring stand-up performances at comedy clubs across the United States. His work as a touring stand-up, developed alongside his Las Vegas base, reflects the pattern common among Las Vegas-based comedians who use the city's entertainment infrastructure as a platform while maintaining national touring presence. His sketch and improv background at Bleach has given his stand-up a structural awareness that distinguishes performers trained in ensemble improv from those who develop exclusively through solo comedy formats.

His continued work with Bleach across more than a decade of weekly performance at the Vegas Theatre Company and Art Square Theatre represents a sustained commitment to Las Vegas's long-form improv community that goes beyond what most Las Vegas-based comedians invest in the local performance infrastructure. Bleach's weekly format, which generates complete improvised shows from audience suggestions, demands consistent ensemble skill maintenance that weekly performance repetition sustains. Todd's participation in Bleach across successive performing generations of the ensemble has given him a depth of ensemble experience that few Las Vegas-based performers accumulate.

His multiple performance modes, spanning long-form ensemble improv with Bleach, competitive short-form contexts, stand-up comedy touring, and sketch performance, reflect a performing range that his training and Las Vegas base have supported. Las Vegas's entertainment economy provides both the audience diversity and the logistical infrastructure that supports performers who move fluidly across comedy formats, and Todd's career has developed this format versatility across his years of consistent Las Vegas performance.
