A poignant and very funny show from Tom Skelton, about coming to terms with a new reality. Highly recommended!

"Might have been" fantasies are part of being human - Tom's show hits at both a personal and a universal level. He addresses his sight loss with honesty, naturalness and great humour - it's a great show - and an important one to see. And we loved it!

Fantastic show. Seen Tom in other shows and he is a fabulous performer. First time seeing his own show and not disappointed. Loads of humour but also a poignant personal story. As someone who has also had sight loss it particularly resonated with me, but my (perfectly visioned) friend also loved it!
