532 - TOM DAVIS - BAFTA Winner, Bad Auditions, & Bludgeoning Pigeons!

We sit down with the multi-talented comedian, actor and all-around lovely geezer Tom Davis who has us howling for 90 minutes! Tom’s first job as a scaffolder is a far cry from the red carpets he walks today. Despite having never had any acting lessons, Tom stars in Wonka and Paddington 2. He shares what Timothée Chalamet is like off screen, and why the trailer he was given on set caused a bit of a problem!  Tom co-created BAFTA winning ‘Murder In Successville’ which, despite ITV not being keen on the sitcom in the first script read through, went on to have a Netflix USA adaptation. Tom went from being a scaffolder to a stand up comedian in just a few years - though not without a few bad gigs along the way, especially a particularly bad set at Download festival where bodily fluids were thrown at him…  We also chat about his podcast Wolf and Owl with fellow comic Romesh Ranganathan, and his one bad habit that had his viewers fuming. Plus why he’s not a huge supporter of Edinburgh Fringe, his scary footie match experience, and one of his early jobs scaring pigeons!  Learn more about your ad choices.
