Tom Glover: Did you see that reel I sent you?

Tom Glover brings his stand-up to The Platform on Thursday 15 April 2027, as part of a UK tour. The show is titled Did You See That Reel I Sent You?, a nod to the way he's built his audience: through the short-form clips he posts online, which have reached millions of people worldwide. If you've come across his reels on your feed, this is the full-length version of that material performed live on stage.

The set is built around three things that a lot of us recognise: marriage, parenting, and growing up in the 90s. It's that specific kind of observational comedy that works because it's grounded in the everyday—the small, recognisable frictions of family life and the particular nostalgia of a decade that's now far enough back to look at with a bit of distance. If you're in that age bracket, or just enjoy hearing someone talk through the chaos of raising kids and keeping a marriage going, there's plenty here to latch onto.

It's a stand-up show in the traditional sense: Glover on stage with a microphone, working through his stories. The Lincoln date is one stop on a wider UK tour, so it's a touring production rather than a one-off local night. The show starts at 7:30pm at The Platform, which is part of the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre (The Engine Shed) at the University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, LN6 7TS. If you've been following his clips online, this is where those bits stretch out into a full evening.
