SUMMARY:Tom Stade: Risky Business
DESCRIPTION:Tom’s funny and today’s funny don’t always see eye to eye\, but that’s cool; it’s not Tom’s way to follow the herd. He much prefers to take the path less travelled (some smart guy once said that). \nJoin this independent spirit and irrepressible force of nature\, as he airdrops his ingenious and unflinching comedy into an ever-changing minefield. \nIt’s a risky business navigating the tightrope of today’s times but Tom’s approaching it with his usual gusto. Without risk there is no reward.
