Tom is totalling up what life is all about. He's been told to live in the moment, but gets distracted by old women on the bus listening to music without earphones. Annoying influencers show him what his house is supposed to look like, but his kitchen has just flooded and the plumber wants to fit a ‘fanny trap’? He knows he should be enjoying things but he still feels like he doesn’t quite fit in, and that he may have been getting life, just ever so slightly... wrong?

Co-host of ITV's Cooking with the Stars and the Like Minded Friends podcast, and host of Pottering, Tom has appeared on The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice, Last One Laughing: Halloween Special, Apprentice You’re Fired, Cats Does Countdown, Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You? and QI. As well as starring in the hit musical Titanique, Tom is also a best-selling author with two memoirs, No Shame and Too Much, and most recently his debut novel Common Decency.

Tom’s returning to the stage and there's a lot to catch up about. His last tour, Completely, was a runaway sell-out success, and this one is 'Totally' tipped to follow.

‘Riotous stuff, perfectly delivered’ ???? (Scotsman)
'A neatly judged mix of realism and ripe exaggeration delivered at a frantically camp pace' ???? (Times)
'A riotous rollercoaster ride' ???? (Evening Standard)
