Refugee Legal Dinner 2019

Posted on by

I’m honoured to once again be MCing Refugee Legal’s Annual Dinner in 2019.

It’s happening on Friday October 25th at 6:30pm (7pm start) at the Fitzroy Town Hall.

The night will feature an address from Behrouz Boochani and the keynote address will be from the UNHCR representative in Canberra, Louise Aubin.

RL is a brilliant organisation doing vital work for people seeking asylum. You can help them raise some cash and have a lot of fun by coming along to this night. I will wear a suit and everything.

See you there! Tickets available here.

ENOUGH On Tour

My 2019 stand-up show ENOUGH has a few more dates in Straya then heads to the UK.

Here’s some propaganda:

Directed by Bob Franklin.

As seen on Tonightly with Tom Ballard. 

Tom doesn’t have a real job any more. Please come and give him some of your hard-earned money in exchange for the product of laughter. This will help fuel the economy, demonstrate the power of the free market and lead to jobs and growth.  

Plus hopefully it will distract you from the neoliberal horror that surrounds us in every waking moment, destroying our collective future.
