Tom Sobel is the only honest agent I ever met.

Since its inception TSM Artists Inc., parent company of Comedy Caravan Talent, has been responsible for booking talent for literally hundreds of thousands of comedy show.

During the past 28 years TSM has recognized and engaged some of today's biggest names in the entertainment industry beginning early in their careers, including Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Ellen Degeneres, Chris Rock, Jeff Foxworthy, Roseanne, Steve Harvey, Tim Allen, Sinbad, Louie Anderson, Dennis Miller, Paula Poundstone, Darryl Hammond, Jim Breuer and Joan Rivers, just to name a few.

When I first started on the road as a comedian, back in '84 or '85,
some agents were a little shady, but Tom Sobel was top notch.

There was always a huge amount of pride with him that his word meant something."

-- Brian Regan, veteran of "The Tonight Show," Comedy Central, etc

HBO entrusts Louisville company with screening comedy acts for national fest

The list of opportunities secured for clients includes guest-starring roles on popular shows like "Seinfeld," commercials for Budweiser and the NBA, featured segments on CBS' "48 Hours," HBO's "Young Comedians Special," Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," CBS' "Star Search" as well as appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. HBO and CBS routinely use TSM Artists as talent consultants and travel to Louisville, KY to showcase recommended artists.

In all my years of experience I think Tom Sobel is THE most consistently ethical booker in the entire business.

He'll make sure whatever event you book is done right, and for a fair and competitive price. He has all the experience you'll ever need to pull it off without a glitch.
