TONY FIGUEROA is a standup comedian, writer, actor and storyteller based in Los Angeles. A "day job" teaching comedy traffic school led to Tony cohosting and coproducing several radio shows. Tony’s CHILD OF TELEVISION Blog is an example of life imitating art. Tony wrote a sit-com Pilot titled RED STATE where the main character writes a syndicated column also called CHILD OF TELEVISION. In his spare time Tony can be found story telling at the STORY SALON in North Hollywood, surfing the Net and of course watching TV.
