Tomi was born and raised in Swindon to a Welsh family. He started his stand-up career at 8, and, after winning a local talent show, he had a varied childhood acting on screen, stage, and radio, notably playing Michael in Billy Elliot on the West End for 2 years. He earned a scholarship to Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, where he began to hone his craft. There, he discovered his love for writing and formed The Fiascoholics Theatre Company with two friends. Their first production, which Tomi directed, had an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe and transferred to the Hope Theatre in London. Tomi has loved his 4 years at OSD, developing his craft on the Foundation and Three-Year courses. He enjoys horror movies, sketch comedy, and (not at all competitive) games with friends.
