Rupert Hawksley, The Telegraph, 28th July 2017#EdFringe17: Tom Skelton in Blind Man's Bluff
Tom developed a genetic eye condition eight years ago, leaving him with 5% vision. He first noticed some sight loss at the Edinburgh Fringe, when fellow performers on stage became blurry. Enjoy 15 minutes in the company of the actor, comedian and writer, featuring comedy from the brilliant Racing Minds podcast.
