Biff from “Back to the Future” Is Doing Stand-Up Shows

Tom Wilson Comedian

Tom Wilson, who famously played Biff in the Back to the Future movie series, now has a career as a stand-up comic. He had started out doing stand-up comedy as a teenager while he was launching his acting career. In addition to his work in the Back to the Future films, he has worked in a number of movies and TV shows, including doing voices for the SpongeBob Squarepants series. According to his website, though, he is most at home doing comedy on stage.

In the video below from one of his stand-up performances, Wilson makes fun of his work at sci-fi conventions with a song. Check it out.

Wilson earlier wrote a song “Biff’s Question Song” to address the annoying questions he constantly gets about the Back to the Future trilogy.

If you want to know more about Wilson’s thoughts on Back to the Future (his favorite was the third in the series), he put together a “Fact Sheet” to address all of the most common questions about the movies. For more on his stand-up career, check out his website.
