Tom Deacon

At first glance, Tom Deacon’s range of subjects for his debut solo show Indecisive stick rather stubbornly to the everyday concerns of today’s young men – women, games consoles and baseball caps. Nevertheless, as winner of the Chortle Student Comedy Award and presenter of the BBC’s yoof-oriented Switch programmes, the 23 year old looks set to be a rising talent on the UK circuit.

Deacon’s first Fringe appearance last year was significantly bolstered by the fact that it was as part of the highly-respected Comedy Zone, the festival’s longest-running group comedy show, responsible for launching the careers of big name acts like Stewart Lee, Ross Noble and Harry Hill.

Facing a crisis of masculinity, Deacon’s set grapples with the advice doled out by his alpha-male dad while simultaneously navigating his way through the often daunting experience of living with his girlfriend.
