He's best known for his catty remarks and bitchy onstage persona. But all that totally melted away when comedian Tom Allen played the Park and Dare Theatre in Treorchy last night.
The 39-year-old, best known for his regular quick-witted appearances on TV favourites like Eight out of 10 Cats and Mock The Week, received rapturous applause after finishing his set in front of a packed house at the Rhondda venue. And he was quick to give that a love straight back to his Valleys following.
The funnyman took to social media to praise everyone involved in ensuring the sold-out gig was a success. "Treorchy, what a beautiful place," he posted on his Facebook page afterwards.
