Ad - 🎟️ PR Invite @rosalineh.marketingandpr @tomthecomic has written an absolutely brilliant show in @catinaboxshow . Unfortunately I can no longer recommend him for Edinburgh Fringe as his run has come to an end but he is definitely one to look out for in future. This one resonated with me so much and actually made me super emotional. Tom like myself is a teacher and this show really highlighted the fact that so many children experience some kind of childhood trauma which will go on to shape them and the person they become and that they need people to look out for and support them. It really shone a spotlight onto the role a teacher can play in the life of a child whether this be in a positive or negative way and really reminded me how important my job is. Tom shares his story with the audience, taking us on a journey of his life. He explained things so vividly supported by the use of movement & audio that you really felt like you were there and in the moment with him. He showed vulnerability while talking about some really difficult topics that he faced as a child including alcoholism, neglect and physical harm as well as the fact that not all family relationships are positive ones. Tom also touches on trauma as he got older including losing his home in a storm which led to isolation and loneliness and how the impact of trauma led him down the wrong path as he tried to cope. As heartbreaking as his story was to listen to, it was also heartfelt where Tom showed that there can be light at the end of the tunnel. How Tom has turned his life around and used his trauma to make a difference to others really is inspiring. A wonderful storyteller and a lovely human being. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @thespaceuk #edfringe #edinburghfringe #edinburghfringefestival #theatrereview #theatre

Hello everyone thank you for the lovely compliments and understanding you’ve given to me. I had to cut my Thursday night and all of Friday out of my schedule. I am back again today but then I am off again for two days more. I’ll hopefully be getting some reviews posted on those days off though so I won’t be gone fully❤️ Bit of an easier day today than initially planned but I am so excited to see all of these shows ❤️ I hope you are all doing well and taking care of yourselves during the festival ❤️ Love, Tony x

TOM NEMEC: A CAT IN A BOX 🎤 “We were never really a family. We were just kind of roommates. We were never taught how to be a family.” Tom is sixty. He got sober at twenty-four, in 1990, and started doing standup not long after. It took him this long to tell the story — because for years he’d put pieces of his childhood into his sets only to have people come up afterwards and say, “That didn’t really happen, right?” 🎭 🌍 The turning point was Hurricane Sandy in 2012. His house was ruined. Nobody in his family called, though they lived thirty minutes away. He sat on his front steps watching every neighbour on the block receive breakfast, coffee, family, help — and the one next door, who hadn’t spoken to his father in years, got picked up and taken home. “Nobody’s coming to get me.” That’s when the pretending stopped. ✨ The title comes from an analogy he’d been using for years: you raise a cat in a box, you feed it, and when it grows up and acts strange everyone says poor cat, it was raised in a box. Say the same about a dysfunctional childhood as an adult and people tell you to get over it — you had a roof, didn’t you. 💫 🎬 He wanted to be Pryor and Carlin because they were the first adults he ever heard telling the truth. The show is dark, funny, and directed by Jim Mendrinos, who told him: “It’s your show. I’m just here to guide you.” 🌟 “If you’re coming because you relate to it — please come and say hello afterwards.” 📍 theSpace @ Surgeons Hall — Theatre 3 🎪 A Cat in a Box 🕛 14:05 (50 mins) 📅 7–15 August 2026 #TheComicsUnseen #HopForPop #TomNemec #ACatInABox #EdinburghFringe EdFringe2026 Fringe2026 SoloShow DarkComedy OneManShow Storytelling theSpaceUK SurgeonsHall Recovery ChildhoodTrauma ComedyInterview FringeTheatre

I’m very excited to see this show and was able to nab myself a #pressticket to see it at @thespaceuk @surgeonshall I will be making more videos about all the other shows I am booking soon, and I can’t wait to share them with you! 😁 What shows are you most excited to see?
