Portrait Of A Tom As A Young Neenan

Description

In 2024, writer, actor and semi professional painter Tom Neenan received an invitation to paint the portrait of an 86 year old man.
But what promised to be a simple commission turns into an often hilarious and occasionally excruciating  exploration of past failures, artistic missteps  and current worries, ranging from body image to AI.

A comedy storytelling show about art, people and how people represent themselves through art, but somehow not as pretentious as that sounds.

Tom Neenan is a BAFTA and Writer’s Guild nominated writer, actor and comedian. Oh and painter. He was head writer of BBC Two’s hit comedy The Mash Report as well as a writer for Prince Andrew The Musical and Sky’s Silo.

Praise for Tom’s work:

“sustained and consistent brilliance” The Guardian
