Tom Basden at The Tabernacle, Notting Hill

Note: This review is from 2009

Review by Steve Bennett

Tom Basden has some fine comic songs that are, more often than not, proper, funny jokes that just happen to be set to music. There’s no feeling here that the guitar is a prop.

He’s a smart cookie and a master of misdirection, pulling in punchline lyrics from unexpected directions. He feigns a slightly aloof disinterest in entertaining the crowd, but with material this fine, he can afford to be.
