It doesn't matter that Thor Ramsey happens to work clean. He's funny. And funny is the thing that matters when you're watching a comedian.

Thor had entertained thoughts of being a comedian since high school, thoughts he shared with a high school friend. "She had a dream one night that I did 'The Tonight Show'," he said. She told him that he "had a good set, which always stuck with me. I though, 'Well, if you're not going to follow your own dreams, you might as well follow somebody else's.'"

So, he followed her dream!

Thor began his comedy career playing the basement lounge of a Ramada Inn in Des Moines, Iowa. (Because if you can make it in Iowa, you can make it anywhere — in Nebraska.) The Ramada's basement ceiling was so low you could touch it while standing on the stage. Since he'd reached the pinnacle of showbiz in Des Moines, he moved to Chicago. Soon he was working forty-two weeks a year at major comedy clubs around the country. Then he moved close enough to Los Angeles to say that he lives there (but not according to the Post Office.

His smart, sometimes loud and often opinionated brand of comedy has made him an audience favorite nationwide.
