Tom Wrigglesworth

With a disarmingly charming delivery and unforgettable appearance, this Yorkshire funny man became a national have-a-go-hero when he rescued a little old lady from the jaws of a Virgin train ticket inspector; only to be arrested for begging. His subsequent stand-up version of the event secured Tom several awards including the Chortle Best Show Award, and a nomination for the main Edinburgh Comedy Award.

This led on to a sell out National Tour, and was taken to the New Zealand Comedy Festival and prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival.

Following this, Tom recorded two series of ‘Tom Wrigglesworth’s Open Letters’ for BBC Radio 4, tackling common consumer issues in his own hilarious way and winning a highly acclaimed Sony Award for best Radio Comedy along the way. His third series, focusing on telephone conversations with his parents, is expected to air in the autumn of 2013.
