TOM Allen will give the tradition of camp comedy a 21st century twist in Leeds on September 15.

He promises a cheeky, flirty hour with a gold-star performance of conversational stand-up comedy at the City Varieties.

The “suave and ever-so-slightly waspish” Tom is embarking on an epic-sized tour of the UK this autumn, entitled Absolutely.

Following a sell-out run at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, where he was rated as one of the best-reviewed shows at the festival, Tom had a successful UK tour through the autumn.

A spokesman said: “Soaked in Tom’s signature waspish snobbery and self-aggrandising wit, Absolutely addresses the elephant in the room that Tom is still living at home with his parents.

“He can’t afford not to – in Bromley, Kent, heart of Leave voters and Theresa May’s Brexit Britain.

“He’s always at home in Alan Bennett and Mike Leigh territory as he shares with us his up-close-and-personal experiences of suburbia, especially since the Referendum.

“Tom addresses the ‘difficult times’ we live in – but were things really better ‘back in the day’, when he was a child and you could fit 15 kids in one car?”

Tom recently found some independence from his parents by passing his driving test, but as insurance is too expensive he’s been added to his mum and dad’s policy for their Ford Fiesta Zetec.

“It’s not glamorous but he has been learning how to deal with road rage and motorways, as well as giving lifts to his mum and dad.”

Despite all this, Tom maintains that he’s better than everyone else, and whilst maintaining his delusions of grandeur he still manages to take swipes at people who cope with life better.

Tom Allen’s unique style of sharp, acerbic wit and camp, riotous storytelling has seen him perform all over the UK, Europe, Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand. Call 0113 243 0808 to book tickets.
