Tom Wrigglesworth  :  I’m Struggling to See How That’s Helping
I first came across Tom Wrigglesworth as one third of last year’s AAA Comedy during the Fringe and was very impressed with this Yorkshire man with ‘ the body of footballer Peter Crouch’. Tom also sports a mass of curly hair and glasses so he is rather difficult to forget either. But maybe the most memorable thing about him is not his looks but his comedy talent which shone through in 20 minutes last year but was even more in evidence with his full hour. Wrigglesworth has a whole fund of stories about passed events in his year, has strong opinions on all sorts of things, gravy being but one, and is not afraid to share them. He relates stories about his technophobe father and the internet which just has to be heard, upsetting printers, comedy vicars and blocked credit cards to mention just a few but there are many, many more also. He does like to relate to his audience and got a lot of mileage from a late arriving couple he Irish and her French , but she in particular got their own back by giving him some of the best second language heckles he said he’d ever received. I’m sure Wrigglesworth will soon be as big a name as he is tall so grab you chance to see he while you can and you won’t regret it. ****
