Season 1 Plot
MIDTOWN is the brainchild of former NYPD Cop Scott Baker. After writing the ultra-popular book THE FUNNIEST COP STORIES EVER, Scott began doing stand up and became a top improv comedy performer. On a film set,, he met Tom Malloy, an actor, writer, and comedian, and they realized they had a banter between them that was unmatched. Tom was a graduate of the famed IoWest Improv School in Los Angeles (former graduates include Chris Farley & Tina Fey). This is comedy at its best, with two guys who talk like cops talk.
