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 based on Mayhew's acclaimed Edinburgh show I, Tom Mayhew, which transferred to a sell-out run at the Soho Theatre. In this episode, Tom and his tiny Mum explore jobs, life and ambition. What does it mean to have a successful life and is it even possible when there’s a cost of living crisis? Written and performed by Tom Mayhew Featuring Chris Cantrill Additional Material by Olivia Phipps Producer: Benjamin Sutton A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2022.
