Tom Basden at The Tabernacle, Notting Hill
Note: This review is from 2009
Review by Steve Bennett
Tom Basden has some fine comic songs that are, more often than not, proper, funny jokes that just happen to be set to music. There’s no feeling here that the guitar is a prop.
He’s a smart cookie and a master of misdirection, pulling in punchline lyrics from unexpected directions. He feigns a slightly aloof disinterest in entertaining the crowd, but with material this fine, he can afford to be.
