Tom Mayhew: Fragile Fragments
Sad, lonely comedian Tom Mayhew (Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year nominee, 2017) brings his debut collection of self-deprecating jokes to the Edinburgh Fringe. Fragile Fragments brings together stories involving awkwardness, insecurity, anxiety, depression and heartbreak. You know, all those ol' comedy staples that we know and love. 'Tom Mayhew has funny bones inside his body. He has what it takes to go a long way' (Paul Foot). 'Endearingly humble... enjoyably surreal' (Chortle.co.uk).

Martin Walker, Broadway Baby, 15th July 2017What is the show about?
Fragile Fragments is a comedy show inspired by Tom Mayhew's experiences as a quiet, awkward, depressed person who struggles with social anxiety and social activities in equal measure. It touches on issues such as sexuality, regret, and Top Cat. There are plenty of dark, self-deprecating jokes, all delivered by a likeable performer with the face of a child.
