Tom Allen
It’s easy to forget that Tom Allen is first and foremost a comedian.
The Bromley-born entertainer, who turns 38 next month, won the So You Think You’re Funny contest as well as the BBC New Comedy Award in 2005.
Then, for the next decade he plied his trade on the stand-up circuit, supporting Sarah Millican, Josh Widdicombe, Romesh Ranganathan and Michael McIntyre on their tours, and making a splash at the Edinburgh Fringe with his shows Indeed and Absolutely, before embarking on his first solo tour in 2017 and 2018.
