Tom Wrigglesworth’s Utterly At Odds With The Universe

On Saturday March 1st 2014, Tom Wrigglesworth brings his hugely successful Edinburgh Fring show to Tiverton’s Comedy Hall.

Sony Award Winner, Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee, Chortle Award winner and Star of Radio 4 and BBC2, Tom returns with an exquisite new show.

You’ll know him from:
• Tom Wriggleswrth’s Open letters – Radio 4
• Tom Wrigglesworth’s Hang Ups – Radio 4
• ‘The Unbelievable Truth’, ‘It’s Not What You Know’ and ‘It’s Your Round’ – Radio 4
• Electric Dreams series – BBC2
• Engineering Giants series host – BBC2

Tom takes a poignant, hilarious and emotional journey exploring his profound relationship with his granddad. Throughout childhood, they would frequently make tape recordings of themselves interviewing each other. Reflecting on these early conversations, Tom comes to fully understand the influence this man has had on his own life, and explores the fantasy of being able to make ‘one final interview’.

Expect elegant flourishes of language, twisted logic and whimsical storytelling courtesy of one of the finest and most original comics in the UK. You could also expect next week’s lottery numbers, but let’s deal with one thing at a time. Simply put, it’s about Tom.

‘The gods of comedy chose Tom Wrigglesworth for greatness’ ***** (Scotsman).

‘Magical Storytelling…a rare talent…hysterical and accomplished’ ***** (Timeout).

‘Funny bones’ (Evening Standard).

‘UNDENIABLE GIFT FOR COMIC STORYTELLING… A LOVELY TURN OF PHRASE, AN EAR FOR ALLOWABLE EXAGERATION…AND A BORN ENTERTAINER’S GRASP OF STRUCTURE…BOUND TO GO FAR’ «««« Telegraph
