Viral sensation Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. makes his debut performance in Folkestone at The Old Cigar & Olive. *ENTRY FOR THIS EVENT IS FREE!
Thomas has been delivering his own brand of singalong, musical humour since 2016, and the video for his sweary anthem ‘I’ve No More F***s To Give’ has been viewed over 18 million times on YouTube alone, sending his debut album ‘Awkward Encounters While Walking My Dog’ to number 3 in the Billboard Comedy Album Chart in 2019.
In 2024, after receiving a copyright strike on YouTube for playing a Brian Adams cover, he embarked on a mission to write an original song a week for as long as he could keep it up. This ongoing project has so far yielded numerous other viral classics, including ‘It Would Be Lovely To See You Again’ and ‘My Brain Won’t Shut The F**k Up’ which has been viewed over 15 million times across social media features on his new album; ‘Carry On While The World Burns.’
Thomas takes inspiration from the wit and wisdom of the songwriters of the early-mid 20th century and combines them with punk rock sensibilities to create pithy songs full of catchy tunes and social and political commentary that speak volumes about the times we live in.
