Tom Ballard: The World Keeps Happening

StarStarStarStar

"It's comedy you desperately want to retell to your friends, but you know you'll end up sounding like a lunatic."

"So we've solved terrorism and sexism, what's left? Oh, racism. Let's get to that." Tom Ballard doesn't shy away from anything in The World Keeps Happening, and nor should he.

Ballard covers everything from feminism to 'how to deal with ISIS' and even chucks in an all-too-real description of what (more than likely) Rupert Murdoch's dick looks like. If you don't have an imagination, don't worry, Tom acts out fucking... and let's just say, that's a mental image that'll stick.

It's comedy you desperately want to retell to your friends, but you know you'll end up sounding like a lunatic who promotes a cocktail of illicit drugs on election day. So just go and see it!
