Last year, Tom told a joke that made people upset.
Please allow him to explain.
‘Absolutely packed with elite gags’ **** (Scotsman). ‘Relentless whirl of opinion, silliness and increasingly bad-taste jokes against those who most deserve it’ ****½ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘One of the slickest hours of stand-up I’ve ever seen, and packing a proper comedy punch’ (Adam Hills). ‘To call Ballard a comedian is being kind’ (Daily Mail commenter).
