James Tom, seen on Netflix, HBO Max and Comedy Central, is building a new hour about starting life over in your thirties, a very specific shift in dating identity, and coming out to a family that doesn't do feelings. Youngmi Mayer, the writer and comic behind the memoir I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying, joins as special guest. If you like personal, queer, unvarnished comedy on a lazy Sunday, go.
What to expect
An early-evening new-material show in Union Hall's downstairs room, so expect some rough edges and a relaxed, conversational pace. Mayer appears as a guest alongside Tom's set.
