Tom Ward: Anthem

Edinburgh Fringe comedy review

Determined to be both an iconoclast  and  a man of the people, Tom Ward appears doomed to failure – but has a bloody good go at reconciling these seemingly incompatible aims.

Some lively elements in the crowd on the night I saw him checked his momentum and put this ambition under particular strain. As security escorted one drunk disrupter on to the cobbles outside, Ward took the opportunity to get a pop in at his former Fringe home of The Pleasance and its treatment of Jerry Sadowitz , a little embarrassed at having temporarily aligned with The Man.

As a natural contrarian, he's not surfing the fashionable wave in comedy of talking about bisexual relationships – as he did on his Live at the Apollo appearance – having settled as a straight man.

Currently in a relationship with another comedian, he could cope with her cheating on him with Michael McIntyre , not out of malice towards the bigger name comic, but to witness the spectacle of the primetime, shiny floor titan challenging his audience with divorce and breakdown material. 

Several other comics have a McIntyre impression in their repertoire, yet Ward's take is mischievously distinctive, borne less out of jealousy or even grudging admiration than the delight of smashing discordant notes together.

Ward is also interested in where heartfelt, artistic innovation becomes the ploddingly familiar sounds of the mainstream. He shares a big, anthemic refrain that Coldplay and Kings of Leon rode hard around stadiums, having first nicked it from Radiohead, and staunchly claims an unfashionable appreciation of Bono.

Clever music metaphors abound in his routines and he leans hard on pop culture touchstones while subverting and repackaging them. Aspiring to a communal atmosphere, the cartoonish extremes of poverty in his opening song about living in a house-share are possibly only relatable if you're a starving artist just about surviving in London. But the witty wordplay, catchy call-and-response tune and nods to Bon Jovi and Queen get everyone on board.

The growth in representation of gay people in adverts and the needless consternation this causes some in the Boomer generation is well-argued. But it begets some surprisingly standard observations on the barely subliminal, sexualised aspects of all advertising and the mixed messaging inherent in gambling ads. Ward's enjoyably gravelly Ray Winstone growl and allusions to the mental gymnastics that the gambling addict must undertake are not enough to elevate it.

That's a rare flat sequence, though, as elsewhere Ward takes the oldest cliches of the people's game, as featured in countless post-match analyses, mixes in a dash of modern, technology-enabled football parlance and contrives a tour-de-force commentary on his under-appreciated bedroom technique. And he really gets stuck into the issues of male and female consent in a post-MeToo world, asking the awkward questions about how respect in the daytime converts into erotic abandon in the evening.

A gameshow bit about people competing in one-upmanship regarding their mental health problems is similarly zeitgeisty but less successful, characteristic of a show that soars when Ward is in full flow but every now and then really stutters, his closing, a cappella rendition of Cher's Believe feeling tacked on rather than triumphantly earned.

Tom ward: anthem, by caro moses | published on friday 27 may 2022.

Comedian Tom Ward returns to Edinburgh this year with a brand new show, and a much celebrated ‘Live At The Apollo’ debut behind him, so – naturally – we are all expecting rather good – and typically offbeat and whimsical – things.

If you’ve somehow managed to miss his work so far, let us fill you in a bit on his achievements of the last few years: he’s done three critically acclaimed solo shows at the Fringe, won the Best Newcomer gong at the 2017 Chortle Awards, and supported the likes of Jack Whitehall, Joe Lycett, Jason Manford and Sindhu Vee on tour.

I wanted to talk to Tom about what we can expect from this year’s show ‘Anthem’, how he feels about the Fringe, and his hopes for the future, so I arranged a quick chat to find out more.

CM: Can you start by telling us a bit about the content of your Edinburgh show? What themes can we expect to see you focusing on? TW: Well it seems to be about love, class and mental health mainly, and all the stuff that goes with those juicy little numbers – sex, loss, identity, getting older… and some climate stuff too, though not too much, cos that just makes me want to cry, which isn’t the show I’m going for.

CM: Why did you want to focus on these particular themes? TW: I’ve always been partial to a bit of love, have battled with the black dog – and its various other animal friends – since 1992, and think class fills a hilarious amount of disk space in this country so it’s fun to prod at. Plus the climate has to be mentioned otherwise you look psychotic.

CM : How do you go about putting together an hour long show? What’s the creative process like? TW : Oh god, just gigs gigs gigs, day after day trawling through notes, chatting to mates, chatting to my girlfriend, doubting the whole thing, feeling amazing about the whole thing, and just willing August to start so I can’t worry any more.

CM: When did you last perform in Edinburgh? What made you want to come back? TW: 2018. It was more of a psychiatric episode than a Fringe. So I guess I’d like to put that to bed and prove to myself that I am able to live within the bizarre bubble of narcissism and collective angst for 27 days.

CM: Ah yes, doing the Fringe can be quite tough, can’t it? It’s a long haul. How does performing at it compare to performing the rest of the year? TW: The rest of the year is WAY MORE FUN. Edinburgh is essentially the high altitude training you do to build your fitness. Any pleasure is soon followed by total agony, so you start to doubt anything you feel, and spend the whole time furious at other people’s success and convinced that there’s a conspiracy. The rest of the year is the garden of fucking Eden by comparison.

CM: What do you a) love most and b) love least about the Edinburgh experience? TW: a) The gigs that go well. b) The inevitable flatness of the next show.

CM: Can we delve into your history a bit, now? How did you end up going into stand-up comedy? Did you always want to perform? TW: I was a singer first in a post-punk band called Church Of The Drive Thru Elvis – catchy I know! – but that didn’t work out. Partly cos the band kicked me out. Then I started doing some open mic comedy gigs and went from there….very very slowly.

CM: Were the comedy competitions you did, and the Chortle Award, helpful in advancing your career, do you think? TW: It’s hard to know what causes what, but it gave me massive confidence, and with the Chortle being audience vote made me feel really supported, which can never be a bad thing can it?

CM: What’s been the highlight of your career so far? TW: ‘Live At The Apollo’… was the greatest night of my life.

CM: What aims/hopes/ambitions do you have for the future? TW : To do Apollo again! Also to go on tour and combine my love of comedy and charity shops somewhere.

CM: Aside from performing, what are you most looking forward to doing in Edinburgh this summer? TW: Endless party nights in bars; lofts; gardens; hangovers; swims. Smooching my girlfriend on a bench late at night.

CM: And what’s coming up next for you, after the Fringe I mean? TW: My first ever tour starts on 23 Nov!

Tom Ward performed ‘Anthem’ at Monkey Barrel Comedy at Edinburgh Festival 2022.
