HOLY HECK THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN, YOU GUYS

For 6 weeks from October 31st to December 5th, I’m putting on a show with a bunch of friends at The Standard in Sydney’s Taylor Square.

It’s called Tom Ballard’s Listening Party. Each week will feature me interviewing three various, interesting guests about their lives, their careers and a specific song of their choice that they think is worth listening to. We then play the track so everyone can enjoy it together.

Each week will also feature the talents of funny smarty pants Max Lavergne and the live music from Shed Muzak, who are approximately this awesome:

Tickets for the first show on Wednesday October 31st (featuring promising local comedian Scott Dooley and radio star/killer DJ Nina Las Vegas) are on sale now. They’re only $15 and they’re available here.

Up-coming guests include Wil Anderson, Andrew Denton, Richard Kingsmill, Josh Pyke and many more.

I’m really honoured to have been asked to do this as I’m a huge fan of the event, having been a couple of times myself.

This event will feature myself and the rather stunning line-up of John Waters, Paul Capsis, Paul Mac, Tim Rogers, Adam Gibson, Adam Liaw, Andrew Denton, William McInnes and Anton Enus.

It’s happening on Sunday October 21st at The Basement in Sydney. Tickets are only $20 and they’re available here.

I wrote a piece for this online mag about labels and silly stereotypes.
