• Hobsons & Totally Tom
  

  Hobson are proud to represent Totally Tom.

  Tom Stourton and Tom Palmer, both 24, have been writing and performing together since they met at school and it certainly shows in their sketches – they are completely at ease with each other when performing their various well crafted characters: enthusiastic Nordic Club Med Reps, coke fuelled fashionistas, Glasgow Schemies to name but a few....
  In February 2010, they performed for the first time as Totally Tom in Oxford and launched their short film High Renaissance Man which proved something of an online sensation. Their debut Edinburgh Fringe show, Totally Tom, earned them a nomination for the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Newcomer Award 2011 followed by the well-received broadcast of their self-titled Channel 4 pilot in September 2011.
  Totally Tom are currently hosting a comedy sketch night ‘Totally Tom and Friends’ at The New red Lion Theatre, London
