Pat Thornton is the Thumb Wrestling Champion of the World, or so he claims, which should tell you a little something about his sense of humour. A founding member of Gifthorse Entertainment, and the sketch troupes Todd’s Lunch, Gorilla Sketch, and, The Amazings. More recently he was behind the critically acclaimed live weekly showcase for cutting edge comedy, Sunday Night Live, starring The Sketchersons where he is not only the founder but also a producer, head writer and performer. With Todd’s Lunch he produced the successful musical, Todd’s Lunch: The Muscial which completed two North American tours. Besides his previous work in three sketch toupes, Thornton is also an extremely talented stand-up, receiving a 2005 nomination for the Tim Sims Encouragement Fund, awarded to Toronto’s brightest new comedic talent. Look for him in the film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, scheduled for release November 24, 2021 from Canadian distributor Elevation Pictures.
