Tom Ward on becoming an award winning comedian and finding inner stillness - a podcast by Steve Whiteley

In this conversation I chat with award winning comedian Tom Ward (https://www.instagram.com/tomwardcomedian). Tom won the Chortle Award for Best Newcomer in 2017. He has been seen on Comedy Central’s ‘Roast Battle’, ‘Stand up Central’ and ‘Live From The Comedy Store’. In 2018 he was Joe Lycett’s official tour support and recently supported Jack Whitehall on tour.

We went real deep in this conversation and covered a lot of ground. Tom talks about his battles with depression and how he went from verging on suicidal to being in a place where he now feels grounded and present. He cites much of this down to reading the teachings of Osho and developing a regular meditation practice. Tom describes this need in our society for us all to be busy all of the time and why it’s so important to take some time out and try and be present. We talk about the high’s and low’s of being on the road as a comedian. We also cover how Tom went from working in a charity shop to becoming a full time comedian, his former life as the lead singer of an indie band and lots more!
