my name’s tom and i’m an australian comedian doing his best.
i used to cohost the breakfast show on triple j, i hosted my own late-night tv show tonightly with tom ballard and i regularly travel all over the world performing stand-up comedy.
if at any point you feel bored by this site’s content and would prefer the excitement and giddy thrills of youtube or online pornography, i suggest opening some new tabs and having the best of both worlds.
Mehreen Faruqi has been a Greens senator for NSW since 2017. Her memoir Too Migrant, Too Muslim, Too Loud was released in July, describing her life, politics and reflections on being a progressive and outspoken migrant in Australia.
Here Mehreen and I discuss how her perceptions of what Australia is have changed over the past thirty years, her thoughts on compromise and incrementalism and the Greens’ role in pushing big bold ideas, as well as her desire to see a “feminist, anti-racist Australia”.
(Sincere apologies for the long time between podcast episodes, everyone: I have been going LOOPY in lockdown and have been having a bit of a rough trot that stopped me doing very much at all. I am much better now though thank you. I hope you are ok too. The end. As you were.)
Hello. It’s my new show for 2021 and it will officially restore comedy.
In this time of fire, plague and the stupid internet, “we” are “all” “in this” “together” (?).
In 2019, Tom sold out shows all over the world, received critical acclaim and annoyed a lot of Baby Boomers on Facebook. In 2020, he took some time off and wrote a book.
Now he has a brand-new show full of jokes about our cooked planet, the bad people in power and his sex life. Plus some outrage.
“A blistering hour of motor-mouthed, slick-as-black-ice comedy.” ★★★★½ Herald Sun
“Will have you laughing til it hurts.” ★★★★½The Age
