The BBC is recording a new one-off stand-up show from the star of The Royal Variety Performance, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Mock the Week, Tom Allen.

Tom Allen is Actually Not Very Nice explores what happens when Tom’s calm and collected exterior collapses, be it when confronting someone at M&S who refuses to refund him on some trousers or arguing with his Mum’s friend Joyce about ham.

With help from you the studio audience, Tom works out how best to navigate some tricky social situations and how to keep a lid on his fury when confronted with life’s injustice.
