Captain Fawcett is simply delighted to announce that irreverent internet sensation Thomas Benjamin Wilde Esq will be coming to King’s Lynn for a very special one-off winter show LIVE at Captain Fawcett’s Emporiumon Saturday 11th December 2021. To celebrate the imminent release of his 3rd album, Making Friends at 40, banjolele-playing, tweed-clad troubadour, will be playing fan-favourites and brand new humdingers against the truly extraordinary backdrop of Captain Fawcett’s ‘Marvellous Barbershop Museum’, surely one of the UK’s most unusual private collections, a tonsorial treasure trove celebrating centuries of craftsmanship, located at the Captain’s Emporium. Thomas has been a wandering minstrel, delivering his most distinctive, racy brand of comical musical merriment in live performances far and wide across the UK since 2016. His online videos go viral (and what, chums, could be more topical than that, Egad?!) In fact, the video for his X-rated, very sweary anthem I’ve No More F***s To Give went absolutely bally bonkers across social media sending his debut album to number 3 in the Billboard Comedy Album Chart and clocking up over 10 million views on YouTube alone. It has even been used by peeved personnel as a somewhat unambiguous resignation message. Jiminy Crickets! In 2020, he released the follow up A Quiet Night In, which features the delightfully naughty singles Pants Drunkand Smile And Nod (A Christmas Song), and his eagerly anticipated third album, Making Friends At 40 is set for release just before the Captain Fawcett show. Thomas, who is a Brand Ambassador for Captain Fawcett, said “I was looking for a way of doing a special collaboration with the lovely folks at Captain Fawcett for a while, and when considering venues for the album launch, I could not think of a more splendid location!” A madcap, mellifluous maestro, harmonious hero of the hirsute right here at Captain Fawcett’s Marvellous Barbering Museum? I should coco! Tickets are priced £16 in advance and available through Seetickets.com Limited spaces available for this most splendiferous occasion! And yes, there will be a bar. Huzzah!
