THERE’S nothing staid about freewheeling comedian Tom Stade.

Canadian-born Tom has embarked on an exhaustive 52-date stand-up tour that visits the Lighthouse, Poole, on Wednesday.

A natural performer with a passion for storytelling, Stade has steadily built himself a reputation as one of the most compelling and original stand-up acts around.

Winning over UK audiences with his uncompromising stage presence, unrivalled wit and irresistible charm, Stade has topped the bill at both national and international comedy festivals, also leading several of his own successful headline tours.

After debuting his new stand-up show, Decision’s Decisions, at the Edinburgh Festival Assembly Ballroom in August, Stade has been in big demand.

Not shy of the camera, his effortless charm has translated perfectly onto the small screen with storming sets on Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Lee Mack’s All Star Cast, Dave’s One Night Stand and Channel 4’s Boyle Variety Performance.

He is also a co-writer of Frankie Boyle’s Tramadol Nights.

With a genuine flare for observation and improvisation, delivering quality, satire and passion into every set, no two performances are ever the same. This is Stade’s most highly anticipated tour to date with all new material.
