About this episode
We’re back in Finsbury Park with the hilarious and brilliant comedian, actor and writer Tom Rosenthal!
Tom played Johnny Goodman in one of our favourite shows of all time - Friday Night Dinner. We found out what it meant to be part of such a well-loved show, how much he’s like Johnny in real life, and how it felt to be a conduit for public grief after the death of his co-star Paul Ritter.
We found out all about Tom’s new show - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I Am. Tom told us all about his love for Arctic Monkeys’ early discography - and how he’s loosely seen *some* parallels with his own life… you can see the show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 30th July – 24th August (18:15) at Assembly Roxy, Upstairs and then touring across the UK and Ireland – tickets on sale now at www.tomrosenthal.net
We also find out what happened when Tom took his dog Kiki for a tarot reading…
