Tom Price is a pleasant enough comedian, even if not as nice as he seems, with a pretty funny line of material so why wasn’t the audience and I blown away? It is rather hard to put my finger on it but we weren’t, his opening caused a mixture of laughter and horror at once and seemed to traumatise one member of the front row for most of the show and some stories made me cringe rather than laugh.

He lists his failing illustrating some of these with anecdotes which were amusing mostly rather than laugh out loud funny as he gambols through the majority of his set punctuated with images.

His finale is an effort to readdress a lot of the faults he lists and seconds a significant proportion of the audience to help him mend his ways. This certainly was a highlight for me of what was a nice enough late evening show and look out for the definite twist in the tail.
