In 2020, Tom started painting portraits. In 2024 the BAFTA nominee received two invitations, one: to a fancy wedding and, two: to paint the portrait of an 86-year-old man. This often hilarious, occasionally embarrassing storytelling show explores how in accepting both Tom relives past failures and current worries ranging from body image to AI.
