Dear Channel 4.. Can you please follow up with having Rachel Riley bring in those childhood dress up photos' and show them;)

[@BenB2005]

"I love company but I can't stand other people" is the most relatable thing I've ever heard.

[@JackundMaggie]

My immediate reaction to that line was: "Well obviously. You're a theater kid."

[@hailtothyking3916]

I love the fact that he and Rob Becket went to the same school. Always gives them a unique interaction that makes me laugh

[@thedunyadoneya2628]

The "we weren't even in the same class" response to robs "we weren't in the same classes" went under the radar a bit.

[@jdrodriguez2357]

does anyone know the episode and season for that?

[@muppetmittstheOG]

@James Rowden , agreed. Their is probably a degree of media training but you have to admit, the Allen/Beckett accent spectrum is pretty wide for two guys from the same school.

[@amyrear2184]

My Nan taught them when they were at school together !!

[@jamessimonson9905]

Louis Sanderson He’s not he puts it on.

[@kjamison5951]

It’s not just the content in his observations, it’s the intensity with which they are punctuated and the dramatic pauses before the punchline. “I’ve been living with a couple. Their names are… dad and… mum.”

Such a brilliant joke, obviously only works with a gay comedian. But it’s Tom’s deadpan delivery that makes it so funny!

And then the way he resentfully pushes the photo over. 🤣

He would be soooo good on taskmaster!! Best dictionary corner guests 🤣

[@Sootaroot]

3:20 "Still broken." Sad and excellent, and the audience agreed.

[@UnfitToLive]

Yeah, actually thought he was moving on to his next bit so it was even a surprise.

[@denapattison6363]

His delivery is SPOT ON!

[@stevious7278]

Tom Allen is a consummate performer. His delivery and timing are spot on. i always sit with an expectant smile on my face when I see him appearing on any show, or doing his stand up work. Such a fun-gi. The erotic literature bit had me in stitches!!

This guy is a breath of fresh air to British comedy. So quick witted, with just the right touch of bitchy.

[@meobvs6296]

nah its the gay bit ,its in our body,hes fully charged ,he is an actual legend in the making a defo icon i think!

[@justincronkright5025]

​ @Me Obvs He's proper bitchy in that it's playful & obviously so. But not playful as in play with your food cat to mouse, it's playful as in 'join me as an equal or even if you're the butt of my jokes I'm still looking towards/focussed on making you laugh & be merry too'.

Tom's delivery on the x-boyfriend joke is just immaculate. Really good delivery has me in tatters everytime

Everytime tom says something about him being lonely or his heart being broken I just want to jump through the screen and hug him

"How lonely?" Asks Alan Carr then hands him a cucumber. Classic

My respect for Tom has become immeasurable, simply due to the fact that he still calls emojis "emoticons".

His presentation is better in this sort of studio setting than the manic and loud style of his stage performances.

[@Babaziba]

The UK has so many smart, hilarious comics, and they get so much more airtime than in America. Thanks for posting great clips here on KZbin like these of the amazing Mr. Allen.

[@krusher74]

you have funny ones on that friends show. maybe?

[@DrTinyToff]

We take comedy seriously here 😉 sarcasm and intelligently crafted gags, deadpan delivery and dark humour makes British comedy special.

[@afischer8327]

It's been a while since I have cried laughing. I saw Tom Allen at the Edinburgh Fringe some years ago. That was a witty, constructed stand-up set. But trust me, he is funnier now. Oh me, if I had the money, I'd buy him that rugby team.

[@him050]

As a gay man who has a few basic and cookie cutter gay friends who are in relationships. I can 100% confirm how accurate those arguments were!

[@marccleary8592]

Cookie cutter are you a misfit.

[@grf15]

Lord, I don't know why but he cracks me up.

[@johnnypickering7688]

He cracks me up and all. It's probably all the funny things he says and the funny way he says them

Expert delivery , so refreshing ❤️ love how he’s so observational but his cadence makes it like a series of one liners!

[@elfkwest]

19:58 "it's the spring." GENIUS!

[@corvus2512]

I thought the 50 shades of grey bit was hilarious, didnt think he got the response he deserved

[@chinaman1]

There's gay comedians who just go talk about their genitals, but Tom Allen and Alan Carr are the best comedians when it comes to making fun of their own sexuality. Allen's like a gay version of Sean Locke.

[@Judewilkinsonjfk]

Tom Allen is way better, he's fantastic

[@hjohnstone6921]

HerrBratwurst both legends😉😘

[@hjohnstone6921]

Suzi though, she’s gorgeous 🙈🥵

[@EfHaichDee]

I doubt Sean would like you saying that. He has a distinctly unimpressed impatient face on whenever Tom opens his mouth.

[@anufoalan]

purplerains, while I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you either, Susan Calman, Sandi Toksvig (although both of them typically only mention genitals either when talking about feminism or when relating anecdotes), sue Perkins, Matt Lucas, Joe Lycett, Graham Norton, Zoe Lyons and Gina Yashere among other LGBTQ comedians frequently refer to their genitals, or genitalia in general in their material

[@1mkfangirl]

Has he done audio books before? His voice is brilliant

I love Tom so much. I hate that he doesn't have any DVDs out. This needs rectifying. Even if they do one of all his best bits for now and then he does some stand up! I'd love to see him live just him xxxxx

At 2:45, I couldn't make out where Jimmy's vegetables came from when he answered Tom's question about where he got his vegetables from. So I thought I'd re-run that bit with the captions on. It said he got his vegetables from a bear in the kitchen. I don't think you're spending enough time on writing the captions, Channel 4.
