Tom Sainsbury On Being 75% Gay, Chris Parker Friendship, Jacinda Ardern Controversy & Donating Sperm

Tom Sainsbury is a comedian, actor, writer, director, podcaster. And these are just a few of the many hats he wears.I’ve been a fan of Tom’s social media videos for ages, so this was an honor to get to sit down and learn a bit more about the man behind the hundreds of characters he has bought to life.We spent the first 20 minutes talking about the inner workings of his social media sketches where he is the master of observation. He has a massive talent for mimicking the mannerisms of New Zealanders.We discuss his upbringing in rural Waikato and how being a farm kid steered him towards becoming a vegan.His sexuality. Why he is 75% gay and why he didn’t come out to his parents until he was 28.His journey as a sperm donor for a lesbian couple and his role as a biological parent.His awkward encounter with Katy Perry in Las VegasThe huge lie he told to land his first ever acting job.Why he practices Buddhism and much more.I get the feeling Tom is possibly more comfortable observing and channeling others than revealing too much of himself, so this was a real treat.I loved it and I hope you do as well. ***Tom Sainsbury and friends are on stage at Auckland's Q theatre until December 7 for "Camping"Here is the link for tickets, times, etc....https://silotheatre.co.nz/show/camping Hosted on Acast.
