Tom Allen launches garden-based podcast
Kerry Godliman the first guest on Pottering
Tom Allen is launching a new podcast and YouTube series inviting comedy guests into his beloved garden.
Kerry Godliman will be the first comic joining him on Pottering With Tom Allen when it launches on Thursday, with Jo Brand, Rob Beckett and Suzi Ruffell among those on later episodes.
Allen said: ‘As you might have noticed I have been enjoying spending time in the garden lately and lots of you have enjoyed watching so I thought, why not share some of my garden time with you whilst I enjoy the company of a friend or two?’
As well as his stand-up the comic hosts The Apprentice: You’re Fired and has a Sunday morning show on Virgin Radio. His latest tour, Completely, sold more than 160,000 tickets and was released as a special on ITVX.
