I’m launching my whittle book in MELBOURNE, SYDNEY & BRISBANE and would love you to come along to watch me be all intellectual and shit.
Here’s some hot copy:
The world is in chaos. It’s time for a revolution and “comedian” Tom Ballard is ready to serve as its glorious leader.
After 30 years of his entitled Millennial life, Ballard has had enough of the smashed avocado jokes. He’s furious at the raw deal his generation has been given, and he’s pretty sure things can’t be this crappy because of brunch.
It’s not your imagination: Millennials really have inherited the bill for our current ‘prosperity’, and it sucks. Millennials have been handed a housing crisis, crippling student debt, the gig economy, a cooked planet, a truly broken political system and now a global pandemic, as a treat. For a moment it looked like COVID-19 might radically change things – like housing the homeless and lifting the unemployed out of poverty – but it ended up just making rich ghouls like Gerry Harvey even richer.
In I, Millennial: One Snowflake’s Screed Against Boomers, Billionaires & Everything Else, Ballard unpicks how we got here and why.
