Comedian Tommy Davidson brings decades of experience to Improv Orlando stage

Performer offering 4 shows at Pointe Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. – Much of America was introduced to Tommy Davidson as one of the original cast members of the sketch comedy show “In Living Color.”

He has since had a wildly successful career which includes acting, writing and composing music.

Now he is bringing all of that experience to the stage at Improv Orlando on I-Drive.

He said he loves being able to make people laugh in person.

“You can actually come and see me and hear me without a commercial interrupting the experience, because our world now is in the palm of our hand, our phone,” Davidson said.

Davidson said he loves performing in Orlando because the city is so diverse.

“I just like that it is plentiful culturally, my material falls easy on those ears. In different parts of the country, I have to think harder about how I am going to get my message across and that’s that we are all the same,” he said.

When people experience his performance, he said he wants them to come away feeling lighter and inspired.

“My purpose is to instill a sense of purpose in others, no matter what that may be,” Davidson said.
