Classical music behaving badly
Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th April at 9pm on Classic FM and Global Player
Comedian and presenter Tom Allen is joining Classic FM to host a brand-new series on Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th April at 9pm.
Totally Outrageous with Tom Allen will be full of high drama, higher notes and the occasional theatrical strop, as Tom celebrates the biggest classical divas – on stage and off. From opera superstars and larger-than-life legends to temperamental composers, eccentrics and fabulous troublemakers, the series will celebrate the extraordinary personalities behind classical music’s biggest moments.
With Tom’s signature humour and flair, listeners can expect a deliciously entertaining dive into the outrageous behaviour, big emotions and even bigger characters that have helped make the classical world every bit as dramatic as the music itself.
“Classical music has everything: glamour, passion, genius – and people behaving absolutely appallingly! I’m looking forward to joining Classic FM – a station I love listening to – and to celebrate the divas, scandals and magnificent mischief-makers of the classical world. Frankly, I feel among friends.”

Joseph Zubier, Managing Editor of Classic FM, said: “Tom is the perfect guide to this wonderfully entertaining world of classical excess. I know he will bring his trademark warmth and brilliant sense of fun to this new mini-series which will be a fantastic addition to our Classic FM Hall of Fame weekend. Listeners are in for a treat – and possibly the odd tantrum.”
Totally Outrageous with Tom Allen – on Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th April at 9pm on Classic FM and Global Player (the official Classic FM app) – is part of the Classic FM Hall of Fame weekend.
