An evening with Tom Allen is quite frankly exhausting.

Tom Allen review

Allen's amiable routines about gay and working-class stereotyping foreground his abundant skills as a raconteur.

Intelligent, improvised banter from comedian Tom Allen

Here's an eminently grabbable chance to catch waspish comedian Tom Allen midway between his ten-year Edinburgh novitiate and a permanent seat on every Radio 4 panel show until radio is no more. Allen has already made his name on the circuit and his laconic, gay-man-in-the-street (as long as it has a Marks) persona is finely honed. Highly recommended. If you didn't see it in Edinburgh.
