Ty Fance-

Ty's brand of humor is introspective and insightful, often revealing emotions felt by everyone. His stories draw upon a difficult childhood in Compton, California, the birth of his three daughters and the challenges of fatherhood, the nuances of marriage, and more. There is something for everyone in Ty's comedy performances.

Ty's book of short stories, entitled "Off My Head and Over the Fence", is a collection of autobiographical funny, silly and at times poignant moments that have been well received by readers.

Ty has performed at The Story Salon, The Altadena Coffee Gallery Backstage Theater, the Hollywood Improv, the Comedy Store, and the Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena.

Ty co-wrote the stage shows The Father'Hood and Laugh at the Pain. The fatherhood show explores the tender and often funny side of being a dad. Laugh at the Pain unveils the hilarious and sometimes wacky parts of life challenges.

Born in Houston, Texas, Ty moved to California in the mid-70's where he attended high school and went on to earn an engineering degree from California State University at Long Beach. After several years working
