2018 Edinburgh Fringe
Tom Houghton: The Honourable
Tom's just been made 'The Honourable'. Not by his own merit (he's been sacked from Weatherspoons twice) but the traditional aristocratic way, by default. Basically, his dad, ex-Chief of Defence Staff and current Constable of the Tower of London, was inducted into the House of Lords, making Tom "honourable", apparently. The 2017 sell-out, critically acclaimed star of BBC, Comedy Central and Channel 4 presents his second show, reminiscing on growing up and discovering that true honour often lies where you'd least expect. 'This unexpected tour de force warrants a 21-gun salute' **** (Telegraph).
