Tom McShane | Founder & Director
Tom’s career began in the 70’s touring the USA as part of ground breaking Scottish Dance show ‘Clan Gael’. This soon developed into regular stage work as part of the dance team for many of Scotland’s top shows and pantomimes. In 1976 Tom was offered a place on the now legendary Thingummyjig Dancers which formed the backbone of cult TV classic Thingummyjig. Over the 20 years that followed, Tom was rarely off the small screen and UK stages. During this time he became the first phone call for corporate event organisers across Scotland looking to arrange not just dancers, but anything out of the ordinary.
With a constant presence in the corporate event and hospitality market, Tom takes great pride leading the company in providing the highest quality of acts coupled with excellent customer service no matter the size of event.
In the early days of The Entertainment Company there was a sign in the office which read ‘When in doubt phone Tom’.
