Tom Parry – Yellow T-Shirt

As the anarchic one of award-winning sketch trio Pappy’s, anything could happen in Tom Parry’s solo outing in stand-up, and bountifully does. The show is a cornucopia of ideas, jokes and adventures, and it’s delightfully evident that Parry seizes the day, every day. Just how much fun that can be is shared with a generosity of spirit that warms the cockles (and exposes them for a laugh too).

The core here is fancy dress, perversely exposing the self in stepping out of the norm and away from the constrictions of the routine. And that’s the true key to this heart-warming and rib-tickling show – just do something silly and different and you’ll love it. And he’s so right.
