Timothy Aaron Hawkins (born March 30, 1968) is an American Christian comedian, songwriter, and singer, best known for song parodies.

He played baseball[1] at the University of Missouri and assumed he would pursue athletics professionally.

He rented cars, served as a substitute teacher and also worked a dozen customer support jobs.

He also worked as a waiter at Olive Garden, where his co-workers encouraged him to sign up for an open mic night at a local comedy club.

It was at this first open mic night in St. Louis in 1991,[2] Hawkins realized he was always meant to do comedy.
