Tom Tran moved to La to make it big. and also to acquire and extra “h” in his name . We think it’s very “Topher-esque” of him . You probably saw Tran most recently in the Call of Duty: Black Ops commerical. Go Buffalo!

Thom Tran came to Los Angeles in 2008 as an internationally touring standup comedian, musician, and writer, after spending a decade in broadcast radio in New York. His comedy career started when his career as a soldier ended. An 8-year stint in the United States Army came to an end in 2005 after Thom was wounded in combat during his year long tour in Iraq. Post-combat, comedy saved his life.

After touring the east coast and mid-west as a road comic, a week long vacation to Los Angeles turned into a hunt for an apartment after he got a sample of the comedy scene in LA, and liked it. Originally from Buffalo, NY, Thom decided that nearly 30 years of snow and NHL playoff heartbreaks was more than enough.
