About me

Hello,

I'm a classically trained, working class, London born character actor and voiceover artist who's regularly cast & extensively experienced in tragedy, comedy and drama with a particular penchant for theatre of the absurd, theatre of catastrophe, shakespeare, farce, urban gritty drama, sci-fi, and film noir. I am a skilled improviser with good performance experience, at crash pad nights with Hoopla, Nights at the North Star with The London Improv Theatre and other Venues.

I have my own home recording studio & operate with a SM7b mic, Audient interface & Audacity DAW. Please see voiceover resume: https://www.mandy.com/uk/voice-artist/thomas-witcomb-1

Experienced in: playing dark, edgy, villainous and machiavellian characters & commonly cast as cheeky chappies, coppers, sleazes, thugs, hooligans, gangsters, psychos, 'geezers', comedy characters & arrogant types.

Recent Reviews

"Thomas Witcomb’s portrayal of Bottom is particularly strong. His grasp of the humour in the text is fantastic and his performance in the ‘play within the play’ is hilarious."

"The wonderfully chameleonic Thomas Witcomb embodies a depressed homeless man, a creepy Colchester tour guide and a confused Australian trying his best to understand Morrissey. It's in these little character sketches that the show really shines....."

"Witcomb in particular marks the high point of the night in a brief monologue explaining how a character ended up on the streets, working from a foundation of numbed bluntness and gradually humanising the character."

"Right the way through the production he switches gears with impressive speed, affecting working class directness and effete pretension at a moment's notice."

"Thomas Witcomb in these roles displays a real versatility and was a pleasure to watch.The homeless man scene was utterly compelling."

"He is also particularly strong as George’s abusive father."
