Toby Young is one of Britain's best-known young journalists. In addition to writing a restaurant column for the Evening Standard and a theatre column for the Spectator, he's a contributing editor at Tatler and a Special Correspondent for GQ.
His book about the five years he spent working as a glossy magazine editor in New York--How to Lose Friends & Alienate People--became an international bestseller and was made into a film by FilmFour.
Toby appeared as himself in the West End stage adaptation of his book as well as in New York He's married with two children and lives in Shepherd's Bush (London's answer to Tribeca as he assures his guests).
What the critics said about the stage play:
"A gleaming statuette of the human spirit." The Evening Standard
"Unexpectedly touching." The Sunday Telegraph
"Toby Young is a great storyteller." The Mail on Sunday
"Young is a good raconteur, a handy impersonator and not a bad mimic. He knows how to get the most from his skills and he delivers the material with such an air of conviction that it's impossible not to find it wildly funny." The Spectator
