Anthony Hoffman

Anthony Hoffman was born and raised right here in Chicago. He's the youngest of three siblings. Anthony studied journalism at Columbia College and graduated in 2007. During his time there, he was a news and sports anchor for the school's radio station, WCRX 88.1 FM. Aside from writing, Anthony is currently studying improvisational acting and comedy writing at Second City and the iO (formerly Improv Olympic) Theater. It's located right next to Wrigley Field. Anthony still resides in Chicago as a Cubs fan/journalist/struggling actor. Maybe you'll catch him on stage or television someday (hopefully).
