Tom Segura (born 1979) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and podcaster who has become one of the most successful comedians of his generation. Along with his wife Christina Pazsitzky, he co-hosts the popular podcast "Your Mom's House," which has built a devoted fanbase.

Segura's comedy is characterized by a laid-back, deadpan delivery that makes his often-dark material land even harder. He finds humor in subjects others avoid—disability, death, human depravity—without ever seeming mean-spirited. His observational skills are razor-sharp, and he has a gift for finding the absurd in everyday situations.

His Netflix specials—"Completely Normal," "Mostly Stories," "Disgraceful," and "Ball Hog"—have made him one of the most-watched comedians on the platform. Each special showcases his ability to craft tight, memorable bits that audiences quote endlessly.

What sets Segura apart is his everyman quality combined with comedic precision. He comes across as a regular guy who just happens to notice things others miss—and isn't afraid to say them out loud. His friendship with fellow comedians like Bert Kreischer and his appearances on Joe Rogan's podcast have helped expand his audience beyond traditional stand-up fans.
