Tom Allen

Narrator

Tom Allen is a British comedian, actor, podcaster, and author whose sharp wit and immaculate comic timing have made him one of the most popular comedians in Britain. Born in Bromley, south London, in 1983, he won the BBC New Comedy Award at the age of twenty-one. He has appeared on numerous television panel shows, including as a regular... on Bake Off: An Extra Slice, and hosts the Cooking with the Stars television series. His books include No Shame, which explores growing up as the flamboyant, extroverted child in a quiet suburban family, and Common Decency, which examines the lost art of manners, etiquette, and basic human kindness with characteristic wit and warmth. Allen writes about class, sexuality, family, and Britishness with an observational precision that owes as much to social commentary as to stand-up comedy. His audiobooks — narrated in his own theatrical, perfectly timed voice — and books offer listeners and readers hilarious, heartfelt reflections on British life from a comedian who combines razor-sharp social observation with genuine warmth.
