The Wise Why, Tom Gribby (Agentgribby) talks with Kirsty van den Bulk
Tom is a Talent Agent; Theatre Producer and co-director of textile brand BASK Menswear. I met Tom at a reunion for 42nd Street and his drive, energy and enthusiasm blew me away, and I know he will be lighting up our screen this coming Friday at 09:30 live on LinkedIn.
Tom has appeared as a performer in shows such as Fame the Musical, Hairspray (musical) and A Chorus Line, before continuing as a choreographer for global events, such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class launch in Hong Kong, and productions including "In the Spotlight - Songs from The Musicals" with Faye Tozer.
In 2015, Tom founded Northbridge Talent, a London based Talent Agency, successfully representing musical theatre performers and actors in all areas of the industry: Theatre, Television, Film, Commercials and Dance. In June 2021 Northbridge Talent, Profile Talent UK and Fire PR & Management merged to form the Home Talent Group a combined company offering representation and PR for the entertainment Industry where Tom heads up the TV and Film department.
Home Talent Group offers their clients "full 360-degree representation” and has announced the creation of a live and touring strand to the business empire. Extending creative support, casting, consultancy, and general management to theatre productions and is in partnership with entertainment company A2 Productions, run by AJ and Curtis Pritchard.
Tom made his theatre producing debut in February 2020 with the UK Premiere of The Pirate Queen by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg: a one-night charity concert at the London Coliseum raising over £10K in aid of Leukaemia UK, starring Rachel Tucker and Hannah Waddingham, Jai McDowall, Matt Pagan, Earl Carpenter, Daniel Boys and an ensemble and choir cast of over 60 performers.
Tom did not stop there; he and his house mate Aimie Atkinson also raise over £10K for Save The Children performing a 24-hour Musical-athon during the first lockdown of 2020.
This is an episode not to be missed.
