DIRECT from a sell-out run at last year’s Edinburgh festival, multi-award winning comedian Tom Wrigglesworth takes to the road with a new show.

Utterly at Odds With the Universe takes Tom on an emotional journey from childhood to adulthood, exploring the poignant and profound relationship with his granddad.

The two frequently taped themselves interviewing each other and it is in these early conversations that Tom comes to fully understand the influence this man has had on his own life and explores the fantasy of being able to make “one final interview”.

Expect elegant flourishes of language, twisted logic and whimsical storytelling, courtesy of one of the finest and most original comics in the UK.

Following the success of his Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated show, Tom Wrigglesworth’s Open Return Letter to Richard Branson, Tom has enjoyed two successful Radio 4 series (2011 and 2012) and scooped a Sony Radio Academy Award in recognition of excellence.

In 2013, Tom wrote and performed another new series for Radio 4, Tom Wrigglesworth’s Hang-ups, which has been commissioned for a second series, along with a one-off special of Utterly At Odds with the Universe.

He is also a regular host of Radio 4’s Comedy Club and has guested on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends, Newsquiz, The Unbelievable Truth, The Now Show, Act Your Age, It’s Your Round, The Infinite Monkey Cage and You and Yours, as well as BBC Radio 2’s Out To Lunch and Claudia Winkleman’s Arts Show.

He has co-presented on Richard Bacon’s Radio 5 show and is a regular co-presenter on The Rhod Gilbert Show for BBC Radio Wales.

In stand-up terms, Tom has performed twice on Edinburgh Comedy Fest Live, Russell Howard`s Good News and The Comedy Gala for BBC Three, as well as The World Stand`s Up, two series of The Comedy Store and Edinburgh and Beyond. Tom is at Helmsley Arts Centre on Saturday.
