Tom Allen
Comedian, GBBO Extra Slice & You're Fired
Tom is a household name. An award-winning comic with a well-spoken but often scathing line in put-downs, stories and observations. His TV credits include The Apprentice: You're Fired, The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice, Complaints Welcome, The Island and The Royal Variety Performance. As a presenter, Tom teases home bakers and budding entrepreneurs and rummages around our towns. To The Guardian, he is simply 'The master of the nonstop rant.'
Biography
A household name with his signature acerbic wit and riotous storytelling, comedian Tom Allen is a star on both stage and screen. Mixing storytelling, withering remarks and well-crafted jokes, Tom delivers a carefully curated combination of pithy observations and ironic hubris. Finding sometimes unlikely humour in leisure centres, the institution of marriage, and the school gym, with impeccable timing he leaves audiences hanging on the eyebrow he’s raised in anticipation of the punch line.
His Absolutely tour was extended multiple times, selling over fifty-thousand tickets, including an unforgettable sold-out show at The London Palladium which was filmed and broadcast on Channel 4.
Tom is the host of The Apprentice: You’re Fired, co-host of Cooking With The Stars, and is also a regular on Bake Off: An Extra Slice. Other television appearances include Live at The Apollo, A League of Their Own, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Would I Lie to You, The Last Leg, QI, The Jonathan Ross Show, and The Royal Variety Performance.
He’s also often appeared on Radio 4 institution Just A Minute, and proved a surprise hit when co-commentating on matchday coverage from Charlton Athletic for Sky Sports as part of the Rainbow Laces campaign. Tom co-hosts the podcast Like Minded Friends with fellow comedian Suzi Ruffell.
In his critically acclaimed Sunday Time bestseller memoir, No Shame, Tom recalls observations on childhood, his adolescence, the family he still lives with, and his attempts to come out and negotiate the gay dating scene.
“An excellent host and consummate professional”
Tom was a pleasure to work with, and as well as the important business of making the crowds laugh and delivering the awards perfectly to time, we appreciated the additional efforts he made – from mingling with our VIPs beforehand , to engaging with the audience in the bars afterwards.
