Fit to Work

The comedian’s autobiographical journey through the benefit system - including growing up in a working class family. From 2021.

Working-class comedian Tom Mayhew takes you on an autobiographical journey through the benefits system.

It's a stand-up series taking a wry sideways look at the prejudices that people have towards benefits claimants and turns those assumptions on their heads.

In this final episode, Tom talks about his working class childhood.

Tom Mayhew is a critically acclaimed comedian, whose material about being working-class – mixing the personal and the political, with the punchline-rate of a one-liner comic – sets him apart from any other act on the circuit.

Tom Mayhew is Benefit Scum is an audio adaptation of Mayhew's acclaimed Edinburgh show I, Tom Mayhew which transferred to a sell out run at the Soho Theatre.
