Tom Stade brings his observational comedy show 'Rules' to Reading for a special show at Just the Tonic at Popworld.
Tom Stade brings his observational comedy show Rules to Just The Tonic at Popworld on Thursday 19 November, the set coming straight from the Edinburgh festival. It's a solo show, so it's just Stade on stage for the full hour.
If you're not familiar with him, Stade is a Canadian comedian who moved to the UK and built a following as a popular, highly recommended funnyman. He's known for a distinctive accent and for working across a wide range of subjects, moving from straightforward jokes into more obscure, inventive, and loosely structured anecdotes that land on unexpected punchlines. It's that shift from the familiar to the off-beat that marks his style.
He's a regular on the British circuit and has appeared on television, including The Live Floor Show. He's also played some of the bigger festivals over the years, with slots at Glastonbury from 2014 to 2016 and V Festival in 2016. Rules is the show he's been taking through the Edinburgh festival, so this is a chance to catch it here in Reading.
