Thomas Schoch

Second rounder with the first script I've ever written, Wintucky High (comedy)

Former radio host. (Who isn't?) Current TV host (Who isn't?)

Small town boy from a farm near Ottawa, Canada. (It's always a good day for hay bud!) Born in Switzerland. (Chocolate, yodelling and our strange obsession with little red vests, cows and bells are things I know little about but will discuss at great length.)

I've written my first full length comedy feature, Wintucky High. Currently writing an original comedy television series about a used car dealership. Also working on a new full length comedy feature about country music.
