Tom Gibson – Bored & Scared

Tom Gibson spent his childhood alternating between feeling bored and feeling scared. Not that he’s complaining. His generation had better childhoods than this current crop of kids…or did they?

Tom bellyflops into the age-old debate about which generation had it best – but also hardest but also the most special but also the toughest – by calling out the contradictions, cliches and complete historical re-writes of each side of the argument. Filled with hilarious stories about the pitfalls of youth, the frustrations of adulthood, and how to find inspiration to achieve your best, this show will appeal to anyone who’s ever argued their childhood was the best…or worst.

Join Tom for an hour of fun and nostalgia as he delves into the shallowest of topics to uncover the least meaningful of insights in the most unnecessarily animated ways possible. And you never know, somewhere beneath the trivial observations and silly jokes, a deeper message may be hiding.

(You do know. There isn’t.)
