Having left the Western world behind, Tom found himself in Indonesia where he plunged into a journey of self-discovery. He submerged himself as far down in the ocean as possible, while asking the most profound questions of what truly makes someone who they are.
And now he’s bringing his discoveries to you. It’s time to go “Deep.” As seen on Netflix, Comedy Central and host of Very British Problems.

From drama school, (mostly drinking cider and eating sausage rolls), sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, grumpy old woman, podcaster and nana! ​​

On their first visit to Norwich, the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra will perform a programme of classical favourites.
The exceptionally talented Freddy Kempf joins the orchestra to perform Rachmaninov’s much-loved second piano concerto. One of the most popular piano concerti in the entire repertoire, it is also arguably Rachmaninov’s best-known work, made famous by its romantic theme featured in the film ‘Brief Encounter’. The work’s popularity was cemented more recently when it took the Number 1 spot in Classic FM’s Hall of Fame in 2024.
In the second half, the Theatre Royal audience will be treated to a masterful performance of Tchaikovsky’s triumphant Fifth Symphony; with the magnificent horn solo opening the second movement and “untamed fury” of the fourth movement, this is a concert not to be missed.

Nick Mohammed is Mr Swallow: Show Pony
2025-11-10 19:30 - 22:00 | Norwich Theatre Royal, Theatre Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 1RL, United Kingdom
askmaster loser & Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed returns as his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr Swallow, with a brand new show: Show Pony – now with further tour dates added!
Mr Swallow has recently been seen making everyone laugh in Amazon Prime’s hit show Last One Laughing, as well as appearing on numerous episodes of Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. He made his BBC debut at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards with – frankly – terrifying results, a lot of which is discussed in Show Pony for therapeutic reasons.
Show Pony has been described by Mr Swallow as “payback for everyone who didn’t come to the last tour” and “my most personal/libellous show to date” and will cover everything from not having his own sitcom to not having his own sitcom… and everything in between (critical race theory). As per… expect magic, music and a whole load of brand new mistakes… balanced seamlessly with a story about Tim Henman.
Nick Mohammed is one of the UK’s most celebrated comedians, actors and writers. Nick has received feverish critical acclaim for his previous Mr Swallow shows Dracula, Houdini and A Christmas Carol (ish), which played to rave reviews in London’s West End last Christmas, alongside his first UK tour The Very Best & Worst of Mr Swallow in 2023, which sold-out across the UK including multiple additional dates.
Nick plays Nate in Apple TV’s hit multi-award-winning series Ted Lasso, for which he was nominated twice for Outstanding Supporting Actor at the Emmy Awards. He will soon be seen in the feature film Deep Cover for Amazon Prime, starring alongside Orlando Bloom and Bryce Dallas Howard.
He has recently been seen starring in Sally Wainwright’s Renegade Nell (Disney+) and Steven Moffat’s Douglas Is Cancelled (ITV). Nick created, wrote, and starred (alongside David Schwimmer) in his own Sky TV hit show Intelligence. Other appearances include Stath Lets Flats (Channel 4), Inside No. 9 (BBC), This Time with Alan Partridge (BBC), and he has just finished shooting the feature film Control with James McAvoy and Julianne Moore. He was one of the worst contestants in the history of Channel 4’s Taskmaster.
