Tom Wrigglesworth's pick of the stand up shows

Comedian Tom Wrigglesworth, whose stand-up show 'Nightmare Dream Wedding' is playing at the Edinburgh Festival, gives his recommendations of comedies to catch.

Tom Wrigglesworth was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award at last year's Fringe, and although I missed Wrigglesworth's show, the fact that so many people I trust were eulogising about him suggested that he would nonetheless be a very worthy winner. This radio show is a half-hour version of his Open Letter to Richard Branson in which he recalls a particularly eventful trip on a Virgin train which saw him arrested and, eventually, effect a fundamental change on company policy. A very funny and eloquent man ranting and raving against unthinking jobsworths - gotta be worth a listen, right? Right.

Tom Wrigglesworth review

There aren't many funnier shows in Edinburgh - and certainly none more right. We all moan about the national disgrace of our train fares, but Wrigglesworth (an old-fashioned rail romantic) is doing something about it.

Review of Tom Wrigglesworth at Pleasance Courtyard

Who says that comedians can't make a difference? When Tom Wrigglesworth stepped on to the 10.15 from Manchester to London last autumn, he was just a hangover sufferer with a yen for some peace and quiet. When he stepped off, he was a people's hero, wanted by the police. And out of this bruising encounter with petty officialdom he's crafted a beguiling hour of Fringe comedy.
