Tom Wrigglesworth – Original Review
Note: This review is from 2007
Review by Steve Bennett
Tom Wrigglesworth is a softly endearing comic, defined by some stylish one-liners and an easy ability to riff with the audience.His persona lies somewhere between Daniel Kitson and John Shuttleworth; sharing the accent of the former and the benign, modest aspirations of the latter. He has a strong self-deprecating streak, and his material is drawn from everyday domesticity.
Yet this cosy persona also comes with a keen eye for the absurd that yields a stack of inventive, original observations that provide a rock-solid foundation for his set.
The whimsical, folksy songs he also performs don’t share the gag rate of his stand-up, but they are delightfully charming in their own right.
