At age 17, Tom made his kitchen debut in his native town of Elizabeth, New Jersey at Evelyn's Seafood Restaurant.

 The United Nations of Comedy Tour will launch in Charlottesville, Virginia, with five national comedians sharing the Paramount Theater stage for the biggest comedy show in Charlottesville history. The show will feature five of today's funniest comedians, as seen on Comedy Central, BET Comic View, HBO, Showtime, and other national programs: Gina Brillon (based in New York), David Foster (New York), Bridget McManus (California), Sheng Wang (New York) and Skiba (Washington, D.C.). The United Nations of Comedy Tour is the latest effort from tour promoter Ty Cooper, the force behind the recent National Stand-Up Comedy Series in Charlottesville, where each of these comedians was a stand-alone headliner. "My mission is to promote multicultural diversity and bring people together through laughter," Cooper said.  | | Sheng Wang - Persuading the paper towel machine |
 | | David Foster on modern medicine |
 | | Bridget McManus - Stand Up at The Ice House |
 | | Gina Brillon in New York |
 | | Skiba at Marygolds |
Sheng Wang is a Taiwanese Texan who developed and honed his comedy in the thriving standup community of the San Francisco Bay Area. He performs jokes based on personal experiences and addresses common non-sense with honesty and ill logic. David Foster is one of the top comedians in New York today. While many comics are sardonically cynical, David humorously and insightfully points out the stupidity of such popular theories and sentiments. Recognized for her provocative and uninhibited style, stand-up comic and actor Bridget McManus stars in her own show called "Bridget McManus Presents: That Time of The Month" on the LOGO Network. Gina Brillon is one of the funniest New Faces of the Latino and mainstream comedy scene. Starting when she was only 17 yrs old, she blew the crowd away with her very first performance at Stand-UP NY. Skiba reigns out of Washington, D.C. From the toughest comedy clubs around the country to the college tour, Skiba is one of the hottest comedians on the circuit. His style of comedy is animated and straight to the core.

Home Alone
(Following the Grand Illumination of the tree on the Downtown Mall)
 As the movie's original tagline said, "A family comedy without the family." When 8-yr. old Kevin McAllister (Macaulay Culkin) is accidentally left behind when the rest of his family flies off to Paris for the holidays, utter chaos ensues. But not for him - he's perfectly capable of taking care of himself. It's the would-be burglars who need your pity, as they are caught in one after another of Kevin's booby-traps.Rated PG, 103 minutes

 Virtuoso multi-instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs, celebrated musical clan, The Whites, and their families perform Christmas classics and brand new holiday gems, bringing together the love of family and the beauty of song.
Now in its eighth year, the Skaggs Family Christmas tour offers the variety you'd find at any gathering of friends and relatives, each with his or her unique personality and taste...yet different vocal and instrumental elements flow into a single statement of love, friendship, and faith. "We believe family is one of the greatest things about Christmas," Ricky writes in the album's liner notes. "God gave us His very best gift in Jesus Christ and we wanted to keep Him the focus."
