I’m doing a bunch of Work-In-Progress shows in London and surrounding areas in July, innit.

Best Show Nominee, Edinburgh Comedy Awards & Melbourne Comedy Festival.

As seen on Prime Video’s Deadloch. As heard on Radio 4 and The Bugle. #10 in the British Comedy Guide’s Top 50 Shows of 2023.

zomg Australia’s #1 most-tolerated comedian Tom Ballard has returned to the UK with a brand new show but needs to figure out if it makes sense here. Please come and help him out by laughing honestly and judiciously.

These shows are all cheap or pay-what-you-want or completely FREE.

I’d love to see you there

Here she is: my brand new show for 2024, GOOD POINT WELL MADE.

Nominee – The Melbourne Comedy Festival Award 2023

Tom Ballard is undeniably one of Australia’s comedians. That simply cannot be denied.

He returns in 2024 with a brand-new hour of stand up, featuring electric zingers and incredible points being made with expert precision. It’ll make you laugh and cry and laugh and think and laugh again, then it’ll make you gasp and laugh and feel alive and laugh and ponder things and laugh some more.

In 2023, he toured his show IT IS I across Australia and the world. Picking up rave reviews, a Melbourne Comedy Festival Most Outstanding Show nomination, sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and an invitation to perform alongside Eddie Izzard at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival along the way.

(People even seemed to like the show in England, even though it involved him yelling rude things about the Queen for over half an hour.)

On top of all that, Tom appeared as lovable sweetheart/terrible cop Constable Sven Alderman in the hit Prime Video series Deadloch, cohosted his weekly political podcast Serious Danger, and began the process of cooking up even fresher and gooder jokes about everything that’s going on with the world, etc.
