Toast of London

2013–2015 · 3 seasons

A deadpan, absurd sitcom full of theatrical vanity and surreal non-sequiturs, anchored by a booming, self-important performance.

Overview: Steven Toast, an eccentric middle-aged actor with a chequered past, spends more time dealing with his problems off stage than performing on it.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Ambition, identity, obsession, celebrity
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
