Trains, complaints and bellylaughs from award-winning comedian Tom Wrigglesworth
Tom Wrigglesworth's Open Return Letter To Richard Branson
Thu 11 February, 8pm
Tickets £12, concessions £2 off
Award-winning comedian Tom Wrigglesworth comes to The Lowry on February 11, performing his critically acclaimed show direct from a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival.
Having witnessed a Virgin Train Manager abusing his position, Tom wrote to Richard Branson about one random act of kindness which caused good to triumph over evil.
A cross between Sideshow Bob and Mark Thomas, join Tom as he recounts his hilarious and heartwarming true story involving the world’s biggest jobsworth, his fellow passengers and a brown paper bag from the onboard canteen.
This inventive stand-up comic from Sheffield won the comedy newcomer award So You Think You’re Funny? at the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe. In 2009 he was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award and has recently presented Radio 7’s Comedy Club. This upcoming star is not to be missed!&
‘Magical storytelling...engaging, inspiring and exquisitely performed. This is an hysterical and accomplished piece of work which will stay with you for days.’
****Time Out
“Formidable…beautifully complex material, both hilarious and touching, leaving you outraged and amused at the same time…it takes some kind of brilliance to do that to an audience. The gods of comedy chose Tom Wrigglesworth for greatness.”
