Tom Allen: Absolutely

- Tom Allen
Tour extension: new show from this nicely surreal, linguistically fastidious comic.
“Welcome to the world of Tom Allen – where occasional chairs, revolving doors and raised eyebrows are the sparks that take him on a whirlwind of imagination to the depths of insecurity and the beauty of the world he inhabits. Painting with a fine brush that describes in fine detail the absurd and the petty, the intricacies of snobbery and petty jealousy, it is escapism into the world around us. Allen invites you to dance in his mind.
“Raconteur and comedian Tom Allen is a wonderfully laconic anecdotalist, and bears an uncanny stage presence to what might be described as the love child of Kenneth Williams and Stephen Fry. He has a genius for digression and an ear for hilariously mundane comments and platitudes. A rare talent, indeed.
