The Skit Guys

These two guys have been making each other laugh since high school, and for the past 15 years they’ve let the rest of us in on the joke! Tommy and Eddie use humorous skits (hence the name!) to speak to students about life and truth in a way that really gets through. Their skits add an exciting dimension to the weekend as they reinforce the learning that’s already taking place.
