The Edinburgh Interviews 2017: Tom Allen

Tom Allen is a fascinating stand up performer who juxtaposes a sinister sense of calm with an effortlessly charming demeanour. With a playful glint in his eye and a playful flamboyance to his delivery, this comedian is incredibly easy for audiences to warm to. You've probably seen him on 8 out of 10 Cats and Live at the Apollo already, so catch his latest show at the Pleasance Courtyard throughout August.
