Tom Mabe
When Tom Mabe looks at the world around him all he sees are ways to make people laugh.
For more than two decades this Kentucky comic has made millions of fans with his prank phone calls, viral videos, stand-up comedy (he works clean, so take the kids), a television show and much more.
He has racked up an astounding 1 billion views on Facebook, YouTube and TomMabe.com and has more than 4 million followers on social media who eagerly await each new clip. He has appeared in the New York Times, People Magazine and on NBC, ABC, the Bob and Tom Show. He has also written and produced for Country Music Television and appears in the LionsGate feature film, “Natural Born Pranksters.”
His YouTube channel, “Mabe In America,” has generated nearly 250 million downloads and his comedy records, including “Revenge on the Telemarketers” and “Mabe In America,” have sold more than 1 million copies. He also makes viral prank videos for corporations such as Subaru and Boost Mobile and loves to do his stand-up routines at corporate events.
At the height of “Frozen” fever in 2013, Disney released a video of “Frozen” star Idina Menzel performing “Let It Go,” the film’s signature song, and it quickly had 10 million views. But Mabe crushed it, garnering 16 million views for his “Scared Sober” video, in which he used his pranking skills to inspire a friend stop drinking and driving. “Scared Sober” was the world’s most-watched YouTube video that week and has since topped 30 million views.
His recent DryBar special is called Dysfunction Junction and has over 600,000 views.
