More details

There's a first time for everything, and Tom Toal is fittingly using the occasion of his first full-length Fringe show to talk about firsts in his own life - be that his first speech, first stage performance or first...fill in the blank yourself. But first thing's first: it's about comedy, and Tom has had no shortage of that in his life.

Tom's show about "childhood, fatherhood and moving out of the hood", and how his experiences have shaped his personality. He examines the way a series of moments can forge the paths we take, and how these changes cause us to look at life in a different way.

Hailing from Bexleyheath in South East London Tom has made his name on the stand-up circuit with his candid, warts-and-all shows such as On The Scrapheap and Rom-Coms And Revolutions. Both achieved widespread acclaim and good reviews, with the latter playing to a complete sell-out audience for the full run. Tom was also Loaded Laftas Search For A Star runner-up (2011). At last year's Festival Tom performed as part of the prestigious Pleasance Comedy Reserve.
