British comedian Tom Allen will return to Australia in April 2027 with his new stand-up show Totally, following the sell-out success of his previous Completely tour.
Tom Allen is bringing his new show Totally to Australia in April 2027, with dates confirmed across six cities.
The British comedian and presenter will play Canberra’s The Playhouse on Tuesday 6 April, Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Wednesday 7 April, Brisbane Powerhouse on Saturday 10 April, Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre on Monday 12 April, Adelaide’s Norwood Concert Hall on Saturday 17 April and Perth’s Astor Theatre on Monday 19 April.
Allen’s previous Australian and UK tour Completely sold more than 150,000 tickets and later streamed on ITVX. The new show continues his exploration of everyday life and the pressure to live in the moment while being constantly distracted by the small absurdities around him. He has been told to enjoy the present, yet finds himself side-tracked by old women on the bus listening to music without earphones, influencers showing him how his house should look while his own kitchen floods, and the lingering sense that he may have been getting life just slightly wrong.
Allen co-hosts ITV’s Cooking with the Stars with Emma Willis and presents the gardening podcast Pottering. He also co-hosts the podcast Like Minded Friends with Suzi Ruffell. Television credits include The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice, Last One Laughing: Halloween Special, Cats Does Countdown, Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You? and QI. In 2026 he made his West End debut in the musical Titanique.
He is the author of two memoirs, No Shame and Too Much, both Sunday Times bestsellers, and released his debut novel Common Decency in May 2026.
Born in Bromley in 1983, Allen first gained attention by winning the So You Think You’re Funny contest at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2005 and the BBC New Comedy Award the same year. He has supported Sarah Millican, Josh Widdicombe, Romesh Ranganathan and Michael McIntyre on tour and built a substantial body of work across stand-up, television, radio and writing.
Critics have previously described his live work as “riotous stuff, perfectly delivered” (The Scotsman), “a neatly judged mix of realism and ripe exaggeration delivered at a frantically camp pace” (The Times) and “a riotous rollercoaster ride” (The Evening Standard).
Allen’s 2027 Australian dates mark a return after the Completely run and give audiences another chance to see the comedian whose sharp observational style and distinctive stage presence have made him a regular presence on British screens and stages.
