Tom Davis

Tom Davis is an acclaimed actor and stand-up comedian, widely recognised for his appearances in major films such as Wonka and Paddington 2. His rise to prominence is a testament to his unique path into the industry; having previously worked as a scaffolder, market trader and bouncer, his career accelerated after a sketch video reached Leigh Francis. This led to roles in popular series including Plebs, Bad Education and the Keith Lemon Sketch Show, establishing him as a versatile presence in British comedy. He is the creative force behind the BAFTA-recognised semi-improvised hit Murder in Successville, where he starred as DI Sleet—a format so successful it was later adapted by Netflix as Murderville. His television portfolio also includes co-creating, writing and starring in the BBC sitcom King Gary and appearing in the crime drama The Curse. Beyond his scripted work, he frequently appears on television staples like Live at the Apollo and A League of Their Own, and he maintains a strong connection with live audiences through his sold-out nationwide stand-up tours. Currently, he co-hosts the popular Wolf and Owl podcast with fellow comedian Romesh Ranganathan, further cementing his reputation for sharp, relatable humour. Organisations book him for his natural charisma and his ability to blend professional storytelling with the seasoned delivery of an established headline performer. On stage, Tom Davis is best known for talks on Stand-Up Comedy, Acting and Improv Comedy. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Comedy and Entertainment, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Tom Davis is regularly booked for Performers and Entertainer and After Dinner Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
