Political Satirist Tim Slagle is a twenty-five year veteran of the comedy club circuit, and he has performed in 50 states, Canada, and Mexico. His edgy style has made him a cult hero, and a favorite of his peers. He wages a war against political correctness, and fights for truth and justice in a time when speaking your mind is a crime more heinous than treason.
I got into this business twenty-five years ago after flunking out of college and finding myself unable to hold down a day job. During one of my last meetings with one of my last bosses he said, "Mr. Slagle what do you want out of a job?" I thought about that question like I'd just heard it for the very first time. What do I want? Well, I'd like to sleep until noon every day. Work less than an hour. Say whatever the hell I want. Hang out in bars, and get free beer! Lo and behold twenty-five later that's exactly what I'm doing!Tim's most memorable bit is his Halloween/Tax bit, where he suggests teaching children about taxes on Halloween, because...they just put in eight full hours of power Trick or Treating, and they've got a nice big bag of what should be, take-home candy!
He is a contributing editor to Liberty Magazine, and has had articles published by the American Legislative Exchange Council.
He performs at prestigious political functions and for major think-thanks nationwide. He was also featured in the independant documentary "Michael Moore Hates America" in 2004.
In 2000, Tim produced and starred in a television pilot, with three other political comics. Alongside Tim was Jeffrey Jena, and they debated against Will Durst and Lewis Black The show, entitled, the Mudslingers Ball, ran on the local ABC affiliate for two weeks in Minneapolis. It came in number two for the time slot, just behind SNL.
His career as an edgy political comic first brought him to National Television audiences on MTV and Showtime in the early nineties. Fourth of July Weekend 1998, he appeared on C-SPAN at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington DC.
His Way Off-Broadway show, the Slagle/Naughton Report ran in Chicago concurrently with the '96 Democratic National Convention.Tim has just turned forty eight and is finally settling into middle age. I spent my twenties acting like a teenager, my thirties acting twenty, I will accept forty with grace. Ready for black socks and sandals and declaring any new music outright noise, Tim will be debuting his new look at a club near you...
Tim Slagle "Europa"
Uncle Tim is at it again. Well, he's not really your uncle, and that's one of the reasons Thanksgiving always sucks. If you're ever lucky enough to have this guy over for dinner, just make sure meat is on the table and the overly sensitive are not on the guest list.
Europa is Slagle's first CD release, and follows up a nearly two decade career of barnstorming across our great nation. He even managed to get long-time MadMagazine illustrator Jack Davis to render the beauty of Europe as the cover art.
As a veteran of the comedy club circuit, Tim Slagle has been called many things: political satirist, pothead, fascist, carnivore and probably more than a few times an annoying drunk, although we can't verify that. One word that cannot define him is illogical. His insight on drugs, science, vegetarians, cartoonsand hunger not only provide an hour of laughter, but also make you wonder why the hell people like him aren't running our country. Slagle in '08? Soundsnice, but there's probably a limit on how many drinks the President can legally consume.
So gather up your friends, pack up the bong, and make sure there are fresh steaks on the grill. Uncle Tim is coming to dinner.
