A humble stand up comedian, fighting a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

"Partly educational, primarily humorous and undoubtedly brave; like good comedy should be." - Laughspin.com

A political satirist with a penchant for controversy and comedy from the conservative side, comedian Tim Slagle has spent twenty-five years touring the biker bars, bowling alleys and Holiday Inn lounges of America While some of his material leans towards political satire, Slagle deals more with political concepts than politicians. Some people actually leave a show without ever realizing it was political. Things that touch our everyday life like warning labels and vegetarian frozen dinners, have political implications, but are not necessarily thought of as political.

"Tim Slagle is a deep-voiced observational comic whose social commentary is dead on. This is witty, smart stuff that will please fans of intelligent comedy." - Serious Comedy

He is known for his regular contributions to Liberty Magazine and Breitbart's site BigHollywood.com The Detroit native now lives in the Chicago area. Slagle adopted by a middle-class family, living in the blue collar area of South Suburban Detroit known as Downriver. Slagle briefly attended the University of Michigan, and eventually dropped out without a degree in 1979 to become a fringe part of the Detroit Punk scene in the band Boris Savage and the Primates. His career was extremely short since he is completely tone deaf, and was much more adept at breaking instruments than playing them.

In 1979 he started performing at the open mike nights at Mark Ridleys Comedy Castle in north suburban Detroit. As stand-up comedy clubs exploded around the country during the comedy boom of the 1980s, there were plenty of venues looking for comics, and by 1983, Slagle was traveling the country as a professional comic. After three years of living on the road, he settled in Chicago, where he became a regular in the Zanies chain of comedy clubs.
