Corey Craig and Cool Beans Comedy catch up with the hilarious Tony Baker backstage at the Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, CA - where magic happens!  

Born Anthony C. Baker in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Tony and his family quickly moved back to the city of Chicago where he was raised on the south side. His passion for film started at a very early age and stayed with him throughout his life.

While attending New Mexico State University his creative ideas were brought to the forefront while writing and directing films with his colleagues just for the love of it. His comedic skills developed while hosting pageants, talent shows, and fund-raising events on the NMSU campus.

His love for theater developed when he made his stage debut in the University production of “Of Mice & Men” in which he received his first acting award. After bringing his acting talents to the stage he knew that it was time to make the dream a reality and uprooted his family to California to pursue a career in acting and stand up comedy.*
