About this event

---

Coming to the Soundhouse as part of Leicester Comedy Festival Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. & The Fancy ChapsThomas Benjamin Wild Esq. has been delivering his own brand ofsingalong, musical humour since 2016, and the video for his swearyanthem 'I've No More F***s To Give' has been viewed over 19million times on YouTube alone, sending his debut album 'AwkwardEncounters While Walking My Dog' to number 3 in the BillboardComedy Album Chart in 2019.Thomas decided he needed a band of well groomed folk toaccompany him on his travels around the country and to join in withthe mirth and merriment, so the Fancy Chaps were formed.Thomas takes inspiration from the wit and wisdom of thesongwriters of the early-mid 20th century and combines them withpunk rock sensibilities to create pithy songs full of catchy tunes andsocial and political commentary that speak volumes about the timeswe live in.Suport from Chris Tavener:  Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener. A theatrical musician with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.
