Tom Gleeson presents Non Stop Tom, a title seemingly derived from Gleeson’s flowing ramble of thoughts, jokes and storytelling. Audience participation is essential, as Tom reveals that he is using this year’s Comedy Festival as an opportunity to search for a girlfriend he can talk about in his act.

Not afraid to go off on a tangent that, somehow, always leads back to the core theme of the show, Gleeson suggests a makeover for Australia, ponders about the life of Superman in country Australia, and marvels at the wonders of a summer holiday in Tasmania.

We are then guided through life over thirty, which Gleeson implores us to embrace as he has’despite the tendency to suffer from gut wrenching hangovers, back problems, and grumpy neighbour syndrome.

Gleeson, spurred on by the presence of an accountant in the audience, even proves that maths has a place in comedy as he indulges in a series of maths jokes. It is hard not to be impressed by Gleeson’s ability to draw together a performance based around the participation of his potential audience girlfriends.

But perhaps the most comical part of Gleeson’s performance is his facial expressions that readily convey the punchlines to the audience in a truly hilarious manner. The entire show is perfectly complimented by Gleeson’s hysterical rendition of James Blunt’s ‘You’re Beautiful”in fact, it’s this song that makes Non Stop Tom a ‘must see’.
