Co-op Walkie Talkie

The Mr. Thing Show

Tom is the creator and host of The Mr. Thing Show - a live TV show that doesn’t book ‘talent’ but instead invites the audience on stage as it’s guests to share their stories or party tricks…

Since 2016 Tom has interviewed a life saving helicopter winchman, a Sesame Street puppet builder, a house cleaner who exclusively works naked and a couple who had to deliver their own baby at home when they were snowed in.

…and has also unwittingly gotten the keyboard player from Bastille to show off his limbo skills, star England flanker Nathan Hughes to demonstrate his rock-paper-scissor winning streak and award winning activist and photo-journalist Alice Aedy to explain her secret to the perfect cheese sandwich.

“The Mr Thing Show is a show that celebrates people. It is a show that sets out with the hypothesis that everyone is interesting and is proven resolutely, joyfully correct.”

“Tom Clarkson’s comedy timing and improvisation skills are exceptional, and his unbounded energy kept the show alive and fizzing. He orchestrated the audience participation brilliantly, always making the person part of the joke, not the butt of it.”
