Best of: Arts & Entertainment: Local comedian

1st place

Tommy Calloway

One of the founding masterminds of the Feral Chihuahuas sketch-comedy troupe (voted “Best Comedy Troupe”), Tommy Calloway has been writing, producing and starring in hilarious skits for almost a decade. The multitalented comedian also brings his mischief to the airwaves, hosting “Studio AVL” on local radio station 98.1 the RIVER.

The Western North Carolina native and UNCA grad describes himself as a beer-and-whiskey-loving "believer in the great cosmic prank" who will "tell you a long, elaborate joke with a horrible punch line and then walk out of the room."

Well, Calloway, they must not be as "horrible" you think. Keep 'em coming.
