Tom Wrigglesworth's Open Return Letter to Richard Branson

Over a perfectly paced hour Wrigglesworth recounts the true story of one particularly peculiar train journey, which ended in him being arrested for begging after merely trying to help out a fellow passenger in distress. I'll say no more about the tale itself other than that it's beautiful, heartwarming and one which everyone should discover for themselves. Tom is a rare talent and although comparisons will no doubt be made with that other great Northern storyteller Daniel Kitson (not a bad person to be compared to by any means) there is more charm and heart at play here. He deals with the material with such a light and delicate touch that you find yourself moving almost imperceptibly between raucous laughter and tender tears.
