Tim Meadows, a chameleon of character-driven humor, returns to the stage at Houston Improv on Friday, May 29, 2026, at 7:30 PM. Fresh off reprising his role as Principal Ron Duvall in the 2024 musical adaptation of “Mean Girls,” Meadows brings his signature blend of absurdity and grounded humor. His career, marked by versatility, began on Saturday Night Live, where he was a cast member from 1991 to 2000.
Meadows’s comedy, seen in his role as John Glascott on The Goldbergs and its spinoff “Schooled,” is a study in versatility. He weaves satire and parody, often targeting public figures and cultural phenomena. His improvisational skills, honed at The Second City in Chicago alongside Chris Farley, shine in live settings.
What sets Meadows apart is his mastery of timing and character. His portrayal of Leon Phelps, “The Ladies’ Man,” on SNL remains a cultural touchstone, showcasing his knack for embodying personas that are both ridiculous and endearing.
