Tom used to work at the comedy club my husband and I own in Kingston, Ontario Canada and although we haven't seen him for a few years now, I will never forget his performances. He has always been my personal favourite and no other comic has had me in tears from laughter. Wishing him fame and success in the UK!

Saw Tom in afghanistan,where he came to entertain us troops with three other comedians. I'd never heard of him before and I can honestly say he is the funniest guy I have ever seen! I don't know why he isn't as famous as he could and should be.

You are truly a great of your time. I like Lee Evans and Ricky Gervas and have een them both live but when i saw the comedy club routines about eskimos and family etc I thought they were hilarious, insightful and very clever. I can't sit here and analyse why you're funny, all I can do is hope and pray you bring out a DVD because i will be the first in the queue to buy it. Your like a stand-up version of Tommy Cooper without all the props.

Edgy, spaced out. Resolutely not drunk. Tom was on fine form on Friday night at the Comedy Store. His edgy, slightly "wacked out humour" is definitely worth the experience. In some respects like Bob Schimmel, in others, much gentler, he is nevertheless fully engaging and consistently funny. He does have a few edgy jokes but each is delivered with such aplomb that you adore him more for it and want to remain engaged. See this man!

Gnomic white trailer trash. Written on paper you his material is as thin as that paper. Delivered it is hilarious for some reason tied up with his character (which you would not want to be). He had a 200 size audience on a roll merely discussing a Meat Van in a car boot sale - viewed from American Trailer trash perspective on the bargain seeking propensity of the English. Go see him, if you can beneath his baseball cap, he will assuredly make you laugh - but heaven knows why.

I caught a short set of Tom's at the Phat Cave this year. Out of the twenty or so shows I saw, his was the only one which had me doubled over with tears rolling down my cheeks. Well done, sir.

I have seen Tom Stade only once, and cannot wait to see him again. What a fantastic comedian! I laughed so much i almost wet my pants. Tom Stade is a must-see comedian so go see him now

He was the last comedian I saw when I was up in Edinburgh for the festival last week - and I can honestly say the Edinburgh experience ended in an absolute high after seeing this man. I can't remember a time when I laughed so much - the bits about the meat van at Bilston market and the consolidation loans adverts for debt-ridden African governments made me laugh so hard I didn't need to do any sit-ups. I can't fathom why this man isn't hugely famous either, but sometimes it's better that way, as it can be 'our little secret'. Will definitely look out for him again. The man is comedy platinum (as well as being very cute!)
