Tom O’Connor has become one of most popular entertainers in the country and one of Britain’s funniest comedians, carving a fine reputation for himself as a most accomplished quiz and game show host with no less than eight successful series to his credit .

Toms, career in Comedy started while he was a teacher as “The only way I could think of getting through to them was to tell jokes” For several years Tom lived a double life, teaching his pupils by day, and entertaining club audiences by night and in 1974 hung up his cap & gown to become a professional entertainer, Tom hasn’t looked back since.

Success rapidly followed success. He made such an impact on television, winning three separate shows on “Opportunity Knocks”, that within a year of his television debut he was hosting the Thames TV series “Wednesday Night at Eight”, followed by his own series “The Tom O’Connor Show”. A year later he received the highest accolade in the theatrical profession when he was asked to appear in the “Royal Variety Show” at the London Palladium. In 1977 Tom was the subject of “This Is Your Life”.

Tom success however has not just been confined to television. In cabaret he has starred at every major nightspot in the UK, and headlined his own summer shows in the country’s top resorts. His work has taken him to most English speaking countries, including America where he featured at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in Manhatton.

Tom is in constant demand for corporate functions where his ability to mix with the MD or the tea lady, coupled with his hilarious and scrupulously clean materiel has placed him firmly at the top of the Premier division of After Dinner Speakers.

Recently, a packed Café de Paris n Monaco was treated to a comedy performance right out of the top draw as Tom proved why he is such a popular and well respected star, holding the audience in raptures for an hour with a string of jokes and anecdotes that just didn't stop.

Definitely an event not to be missed, book early as places are very limited to availability.
