Comic Relief...

Tim Allen is an American comedian, actor, voice-over artist, and entertainer, known for his role in the sitcom Home Improvement. He is also known for his film roles in several popular movies, including the Toy Story series, The Santa Clause, and Galaxy Quest.




Most of us grew up watching 'Home Improvement', laughing along with all of the misadventures of 'Tim The Tool Man Taylor' .  We found common ground with his family in their day to day life and were able to relate to some of their relevant challenges.  As an audience, we had the unique ability to grow with the 'Taylor' family from the start of the first season to the end in the eighth season.  



In 1994 Tim Allen played Scott Calvin, an ordinary man, who accidentally causes Santa Claus to fall from his roof on Christmas Eve and being knocked unconscious. When he and his young son finish Santa's trip and deliveries, they go to the North Pole, where Scott learns he must become the new Santa and convince those he loves that he is indeed, Father Christmas.


Just recently my husband and I had the opportunity to view Tim Allen as 'comedian' at the GM Center right here in our home town of Oshawa!  We laughed along with hundreds of fellow 'Allen' fans young & old, while at the same time getting to know him on a more personal basis, through his hilarious re-captions of his life growing up as well as through his memories of past characters he has played.

Tim Allen has had his hand in many a movie & television show over the past 30 years.  He has had the opportunity to become different people throughout playing different roles and characters. Something that has never changed and cannot be overlooked, is his incessant ability to make people laugh!

It was while watching him the other night on stage and as his 'comedian', that I realized how important people like Tim are in this world.  He may only be 'one man',  but he has affected many! 

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Humor & Laughter: Health Benefits & Online Sources
Humor is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. In addition to the domino effect of joy and amusement, laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.
