'An extraordinary portrait of a son navigating his way through
grief and loss in real time. Funny, candid, and measured' GRAHAM
NORTON Happily settled in a new relationship and with a dream house
of his own, comedian Tom Allen had finally moved on from the
arrested development of millennial life and could at last call
himself an adult. But when his father died suddenly in late 2021,
Tom's newfound independence was rocked by a fresh set of
challenges, and he began to find solace in the past (and his new
vegetable patch). Told through snapshots from Tom's busy life -
whether reflecting on the campness of funeral customs, muddy
lockdown walks in unsuitable footwear or just reminiscing on his
childhood obsession with Patricia Routledge - Too Much is a
hilarious joyride of stories as well as an emotional ode to Tom's
beloved dad, and a touching manifesto on how to navigate the
complexities of grief. With moving honesty and wit, Tom writes
beautifully about those days, weeks and months following his
family's loss, and about how bewildering the practicalities of life
can be in the wake of an upheaval - those moments, really, when
everything can start to feel a bit too much... 'Hilarious and
poignant' JO BRAND
