🤩 Tom Houghton: Deep - The Quarry Theatre in Bedford


Time: 19:30 Price: £22.50

🤩 After a phenomenal, sold-out, international tour. Plus, a second round of supporting Milton Jones. The man who asked us, “Do you ski?” is turning everything upside down and asking, “Do you scuba?”

▪️AGE: 14+

ℹ️ ABOUT:

In a world full of relentless clickbait, online distractions and brain rotting content, Tom’s racing brain finally became too much for him.

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.
