Tom Wrigglesworth

WINNER OF CHANNEL 4'S SO YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY? 2003

EDINBURGH COMEDY AWARD NOMINEE 2009

CHORTLE BEST NEWCOMER AWARD NOMINEE 2004

Hailing from Sheffield, with a fine comedy name, Tom Wrigglesworth started his ascent up the comedy ladder in 2002 and a year later (2003) he scooped first prize at the prestigious Channel 4 'So You Think You're Funny?' competition; an award previously won by stand up luminaries including Dylan Moran, Peter Kay, Rhona Cameron and Tommy Tiernan. In 2004, Tom was nominated for Chortle 'Best Newcomer'.

Since going full time in 2005 the lanky Yorkshireman has continued to take the UK circuit by storm, wooing audiences far and wide with his gangly presence and confident and assured delivery. He has a winning combination of an impossibly likeable persona and a catalogue of first class material. His set is littered with stylish one-liners and twisted tales which reveal an inherently dark humour. A natural performer and storyteller, Tom possesses an innate and skilful ability to riff with any audience like they are old friends; instantly establishing a winning rapport and making it all appear simply effortless.

His 2009 Edinburgh show ‘Tom Wrigglesworth’s Open Letter To Richard Branson’ had a sell-out run, was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Awards (formerly known as the Perrier Award) and transferred to Radio 4 early in 2010.
