Today’s episode features the brilliant comedy writer-performer TOM NEENAN who lived up to his reputation as super funny, clever, thoughtful and sensitive. His theory that people on escalators are the new celebrities is truly excellent. I cannot BELIEVE he told Liv Tyler she was fit.
Tom is doing his show ‘Portrait of a Tom as a Young Neenan’ at the
Edinburgh Fringe – 5th-31st August at 15:15 at the Bluebell at the Underbelly venue. Tickets here: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/tom-neenan-portrait-of-a-tom-as-a-young-neenan
He is also doing a short run of London Previews of the show from
the 9th-11th July at The Brockley Jack: https://brockleyjack.co.uk/jackstudio-entry/portrait-of-a-tom-as-a-young-neenan/
