Batt is a veteran of stage and screen, and in his spare time runs a gift/home accessories boutique in New Orleans. Tim Gaither
As a child, Tim Gaither was constantly on the move, but not in an A.D.D. sense of the word; it was more in the spirit of his parents can’t pay the bills so we’ve got to leave town. One the bright side, this forced him to develope his sense of humor as a tool to meet people, make a name for himself and keep bullies from kicking his ass. These days, those skills are still coming in handy, only now he uses them as a traveling comedian. Tim on facebook and youtube.
