Solo debut by the former star with a guitar of The Noise Next Door as silver-spooned rebellion hilariously collides with privilege, elite military tradition and outrage. A fabulously positive show about taking risks and embracing the unknown with wicked gags and perhaps a song. As seen in The Noise Next Door and on Channel 4's First Dates. Leicester Comedian of the Year finalist 2017. 'Hilarious: one of my favourites - an utter class-hole and bloody funny' (Daniel Sloss). 'Impressive!' (Chortle.co.uk).

What it feels like to... live in the Tower of London
My dad [General Sir Nick Houghton, former Chief of the Defence staff of the British Armed Forces] is the Constable of the Tower of London, so I am allowed to stay there as long as I am respectful and don't in any way do anything risky whatsoever within the walls. It's a very privileged position to have.

When your Dad is the professional head of the entire British Military, life is strange. Raised on army barracks across Europe under the shadow of his father, Tom had bodyguards, kidnap training and endless ranks of soldiers saluting his family wherever he went. What was that like?
