Comedian - Tom Elwes - Comedy: The Charming voice of a generation

Tom Elwes is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor who has rapidly become one of the most recognisable faces in online comedy. A lifelong Londoner, he uses a sharp combination of high-energy storytelling and acute observations to make sense of his chaotic existence, and in doing so, has captured the chaotic existence of an entire generation of millennials.   

From Londoner to Online Sensation

Tom is a regular on the London circuit, performing at top clubs like Top Secret and Vauxhall Comedy Club. However, it was during 2020 that he truly broke through, developing a formidable online presence that has seen his sketches and stand-up clips viewed over 100 million times. His hilarious and painfully relatable videos, such as "How to be fashionable without spending any money" or his series on millennial parenting, have earned him tens of thousands of followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.   

Comedy Style: Relatable, Charming, and Chaotic

On stage, Tom’s quick wit and high-energy charm are infectious. His comedy is rooted in the relatable, finding the humour in the everyday struggles of navigating life in your thirties, from dealing with parents and contemplating furbabies to the newfound excitement of a trip to Holland & Barrett. He is a gifted storyteller, sharing anecdotes about everything from disastrous dates to living with a landlord who would wake him up at 3 am. He also co-hosts the weekly podcast All I Do Is Fail with fellow comedian Ali Woods, where they discuss their various shortcomings with guests like Dane Baptiste and Tony Law.

He took his debut show, Carpe DM, to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022, where it enjoyed a completely sold-out run, a huge achievement for a first-timer. His talent was recognised early on when he was selected to perform in a heat of the prestigious BBC New Comedy Award in 2019. He is also currently working on a web series for the online platform Pulped, further expanding his digital footprint.
