His left hand is holding a microphone to his stunned- and confused-looking face. He is standing next to a yellow and red title card that reads "Tomas Clifford Got Stood Up On Tour!"

Tomas Clifford Got Stood Up

Tomas Clifford Got Stood Up is the award-winning original musical-comedy cabaret inviting you to join Tomas as he dives into what exactly went wrong leading up to that fateful night - from unrequited high school crushes to obscene attempts at dating and flirting. Accompanied by live musicians, delusions of grandeur, and the ghosts of many boys who never responded, Tomas Clifford Got Stood Up is a coming-of-age that couldn’t come quick enough, and if history repeats itself - might never show up at all!
