Tom Read Wilson is to set off on his debut UK tour with his new show, The A-Z of Me following a run at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Join television presenter, author, actor, and singer Tom Read Wilson for The A - Z of Me - an irreverent, whistle-stop tour of the alphabet. The alphabet reveals the revue - and Tom - letter by letter, word by word: Through songs and sonnets, through stories and smut, this A to Z of Tom is the perfect prism through which to learn about this logophile, and a delicious slice of theatre.
Tom Read Wilson says: “I am thrilled to the marrow to be setting off on my debut tour of the UK. It has been a pipe dream for as long as I can remember. It is a very intimate revue so sharing it will be a most personal passion project.”
Tom Read Wilson is a TV presenter, actor, singer, voiceover artist and author. After graduating in Musical Theatre from the Royal Academy of Music, his twenties were largely spent in the theatre - from Palace Theatre, Manchester, to Theatre Royal, Windsor.
Tom went on to steal the nation's hearts as the hilarious ‘Client Co-ordinator’ on Celebs Go Dating (E4), which precipitated his own shows, The Taste Test Restaurant (Ch5) Tom Read Wilson’s Christmas Markets (Ch5) and Tom Read Wilson’s Magnificent Journey (Ch5). He won Celebrity Mastermind (BB1) and Richard Osman’s House of Games (BBC1) placed second on Celebrity Best Home Cook (BBC1), and I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here (ITV).
Aside from professional pursuits, Tom supports the arts and community initiatives as an ambassador for Acting For Others and The Royal Voluntary Service. Tom is a devout logophile: his decade old “Word of Day” socials series has resulted in two picture dictionaries and an ongoing career as an author. As a voiceover artist he can be heard as Alain L’Odeur in Hey Duggee and Gilbert the car in Mojo’s Swaptops (CBeebies).
