Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. has been delivering his own brand of singalong, musical humour since 2016, and the video for his sweary anthem ‘I’ve No More F***s To Give’ has been viewed over 19 million times on YouTube alone, sending his debut album ‘Awkward Encounters While Walking My Dog’ to number 3 in the Billboard Comedy Album Chart in 2019. In 2023, he decided he needed a band of well groomed folk to accompany him on his travels around the country and join in with the mirth and merriment, so the Fancy Chaps were formed.
More recently, after receiving a copyright strike on YouTube for playing a Brian Adams cover, Thomas embarked on a mission to write an original song a week for as long as he could keep it up. This ongoing project has so far yielded numerous other viral classics, including ‘It Would Be Lovely To See You Again,’ ‘P*ssing The Right People Off,’ and ‘My Brain Won’t Shut The F**k Up’ which has been viewed over 15 million times across social media features on his latest album; ‘Carry On While The World Burns.’
Thomas takes inspiration from the wit and wisdom of the songwriters of the early-mid 20th century and combines them with punk rock sensibilities to create pithy songs full of catchy tunes and social and political commentary that speak volumes about the times we live in.
Support comes from Victor Ghastly’s Electric Timebomb; a high-voltage electro swing experience blending vintage swing sounds with dirty basslines, theatrical flair, and a dark cabaret twist. Fronted by the charismatic Victor Ghastly, this one-man act brings infectious energy to the stage—think Great Gatsby meets Mad Max. With pounding electro beats, cheeky ukulele riffs, and a touch of the macabre, it’s a dancefloor-filling, time-traveling party where the 1920s crash headfirst into the future. Expect dapper chaos, killer hooks, and rhythms that’ll keep the crowd moving all night.
