Tom Sainsbury: Lessons Not Learnt

Back to What's On

Tom Sainsbury: Lessons Not Learnt

Kiwi comedian, Tom Sainsbury, is best known for his wildly accurate character comedy and social media sketches that make audiences laugh, then immediately question themselves. A familiar face from Taskmaster NZ and Wellington Paranormal, Tom has built a huge following playing everyone from overbearing bosses and passive-aggressive neighbours to iconic 80s mums. Blending stand-up, storytelling and razor-sharp observations, his live show dives into the gloriously awkward side of everyday life – small-town scandals, misguided confidence and people making deeply questionable decisions.
