Tad was born in Zimbabwe before growing up in Cardiff. After spending his whole life in two colonies, it's a bummer for him to now call London home. When his plans to have a career as a professional physicist were dashed, after he was told he would never make the grades for Oxbridge, his obvious second choice was standup.
Other than standup, Tad loves writing software, football, MMA and World of Warcraft. The thinking man's incel.
