About Me
Hello, welcome to my page and to The Comedy Lab set up by myself Tom Short.
Welcome to Comedy Lab, where laughter meets expertise! With a comedy journey that kicked off in 2014, I’ve earned accolades like Funhouse Champion of Champions, Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year finalist, and Chortle Student Comedian of the Year runner-up.
Since 2015, I’ve been a proud member of ComedysportzUK, recognized with the North West Comedy Awards’ Best Alternative Act. Behind the scenes, my stint at the Frog and Bucket’s marketing department (2015-2018) added depth to my comedy expertise. Armed with a degree in Comedy Writing and Performance from Salford University, I’ve circled back as an associate lecturer on the very course I excelled in.
Having earned a Master’s in Contemporary Performance from Salford, Comedy Lab emerged during the pandemic, born from the idea of blending cognitive psychology and learning theory with my vast experience and array of drama and writing exercises. What started as a response to downtime turned into a unique venture – welcome to the laboratory of laughter and learning!
