Camp Tomás Ford
Circle ‘round a late night fire with your rugged camp master (and master of camp) Tomás Ford. With a coldie in hand and a twinkle in his eye, he’s here to sing you the story of his leap from daggy dad to Australia’s newest gay icon.
This isn’t your average bush yarn; it’s a filthily funny romp through the bedrooms of Rockingham.
You'll be in safe (if consensually wandering) hands. Ford has two decades under his belt as a cult fixture of festivals around the world.
So park your bum on one of his logs for the campest Jamboree since Priscilla hit the desert.
"Navigating a catalogue of chaos, Ford crafts comedy that cuts through cultural clichés without pulling punches." ★★★★ ArtsHub, 2022
"An act you should see, even if it makes you determined to never, ever see him again" ★★★½ Seesaw, 2022
Presented by: Wild Comedy
Tomás Ford's Wild Comedy is the driving force behind his eclectic shows, from his ridiculous comedy DJ event Crap Music Rave Party to his acclaimed alternative cabaret shows.
Wild Comedy produces shows around Australia, NZ and the UK including multiple Edinburgh Fringe hits and award-winners. The company has also been behind numerous independent fringe hubs as part of FRINGE WORLD, pleasantly chaotic comedy rooms and tours for under-appreciated underground talent.
Ford's own shows have evolved from electrifying dance numbers in gritty venues to sharp, acoustic comedy, with his latest show launching a thrilling new phase. It appears at FRINGE WORLD 2024 ahead of a season at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
