Thornton Hough Village Club presents Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. and Chris Tavener.
With banjolele in hand, viral sensation Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. has been delivering his own brand of singalong, musical humour since 2016. The video for his sweary anthem ?I?ve No More F***s To Give? has been viewed over 13 million times on YouTube alone, and his debut album ?Awkward Encounters While Walking My Dog? reached number 3 in the Billboard Comedy Album Chart in 2019.
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.
He has performed at venues and festivals across the UK and is a regular on the cabaret, burlesque and comedy circuits where audiences are left delighted by his humour, shrewd observations, charm and style. His shows boast a unique mix of original material, singalong classics and a sharp vintage wardrobe to match.
Over the past few years, through his online videos of original songs, cover versions and streamed performances, Thomas has built a large and dedicated audience across the UK and internationally, amassing a substantial social media following.
In 2020, he released his second album A Quiet Night In, which features the singles Pants Drunk and Smile And Nod (A Christmas Song), and his third album Making Friends At 40, (which includes the lockdown classic ?Well, This Is Shit?,) was released in 2021..

Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener. A theatrical musician with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.
His cynical social commentary, dressed in punchy guitar-driven rock and acoustic ballads has won him acclaim from BBC 6 Music and multiple BBC Introducing stations. He?s popular for his unique and theatrical live performance that has seen him sharing the stage with Super Hans, Tony Hadley and Peter Hook while also writing songs for the likes of Sir Ian McKellen.
