Behind The Curtain

Tyler Linkin had his first big hit at age eighteen. Unfortunately, it wasn't a lucky break. It was a car. Run over while riding a motorcycle, Tyler spent nearly six months in rehabilitation, where he was taught the art of juggling to help regain coordination. Incredibly, an event that could have ended his life instead gave birth to a career in show business.

After his recovery, Tyler continued to sharpen his newfound juggling skills while attending UCLA. He went on to graduate cum laude, with a Major in Theater, Film and Television — and a Minor in Comedy, from the School of Standing in Front of Complete Strangers, Trying to Make Them Laugh.

With his unique fusion of humor and juggling, Tyler quickly found work in comedy clubs all over Los Angeles, along with cruise ships, university campuses, and the world-famous Hollywood Magic Castle. He later moved to Las Vegas, where he was featured in numerous revue shows up and down the Las Vegas strip, as well as Reno, Lake Tahoe, Biloxi, Laughlin, Valley Forge and The Bahamas. For more than 20 years, Tyler has captured laughs for various clients in over 5,000 performances, on all seven continents.

In addition, Tyler ran his own niche talent agency, VegasCEO (Creative Entertainment Options), booking variety acts for corporate clients. He is also an accomplished self-taught pianist, a freelance joke writer for late night talk shows, and a five-time rejected cartoonist from national magazines. Now dividing his time between Las Vegas, Los Angeles and the road, Tyler continues to enjoy doing what he's always done best — which is make people laugh.
