(For a presentation in english, please scolll down)
Tomas har en brokig karriär som punkbandsbasist, serietecknare, lärare, satiriker och pressekreterare. Dessutom trebarnsfar.
Den första karriären som basist i punkbandet Grodan Kräks fick ett abrupt slut då bandmedlemmarna inte kunde komma överens om vilket namn de skulle byta till just den veckan.
Karriären krånglade sig vidare genom serietecknande och kåseriskrivande, via satir och författande till dagens stand up. Vid sidan av har han även haft heltidsjobb som pressekreterare, bland annat på riksdagen.
Förutom den egna boken En Tunn Bok har boken Love, Sex & Funny Business, skriven i samarbete med den engelske bluesmusikern John Davies, nyligen publicerats.
Tomas scen-komik omnämns som intelligent och vaken, samtidigt som den ibland snuddar vid det absurda. Huvudtemat är hans vägran att medge att det finns saker som han inte förstår. Hans reflektioner över samtidens nyheter blandat med kvicka och kluriga oneliners har uppskattats av publiken.
