Stand-up show by Canadian comedian Tom Stade, fresh from the Edinburgh festival, about the absurdities of modern times.
Tom Stade is playing The Arts Centre on Sunday 22 November, his first Swindon date since his run at the Edinburgh festival. He's a Canadian stand-up whose set takes aim at the absurdities of modern times with a mix of charm and an incisive, gloriously unfiltered wit.
Fresh from Edinburgh, he spends the show grappling with rebellion, responsibility and the tension between the old and the new. He works his way through unspoken social codes, cultural divides, identity and marriage, dismantling and redefining them as he goes. It's the kind of set that doesn't just poke fun at the surface of things but digs into the contradictions we all live with.
If you haven't come across him before, he's a regular on the comedy circuit. He's been heard on Have a Word Pod, Channel 4's Comedy Gala, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, The John Bishop Show and Live at the Apollo, where he performed twice. He's known for a trademark swagger and a masterful stage presence that carries the room.
