My Special IT IS I Is Out March 26! For FREE!

Oh my goodness my new stand-up special is dropping on YouTube on Tuesday 26/3/2024, courtesy of the good people at 800 Pound Gorilla Media.

It was recorded at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel by the brilliant Stupid Old Studios crew.

I’m very proud of it because there’s heaps of funny bits in there and some yelling and I broke multiple pieces of equipment in the process of making it. I hope you like it, too.

Serious Danger LIVE in April

“I’ve always considered the Greens to be a real, serious danger to Australia” – former Prime Minister Scott Morrison

ATTENTION ALL COMRADES, DANGERHEADS & DANGER DOGS

They’re BAAAAAAAACK!

After selling out their big fat 100th episode celebration last year, filthy commies EMERALD MOON and TOM BALLARD (and producer Michael The Griff/Griff-Dog Griffin) are bringing their podcast Serious Danger back in April for more live fun and revolution.

Come and marvel at their incisive analysis and funny jokes about our broken political system and its greatest threat: the Australian Greens. It’s wonderful Lefty woke trash.

Previous guests on the show include Father Bob Maguire, Senator Larissa Waters, Wil Anderson and Nazeem Hussain – the special guests for this live show will be announced soon.

BALLARD & HING

Two friends. One show. Many jokes.

Join former triple j employees and funny nerds Tom Ballard (DeadlochSerious Danger, homosexual) and Michael Hing (The ProjectDragon Friends, Chinese) as they share a stage in a tent in Adelaide and make you laugh about everything from politics to culture to their own pathetic lives.

Don’t miss out – when these two crazy guys get together, literally ANYTHING could happen!!!

(They’ll probably just do stand-up comedy.)

“[Ballard delivers] a raucous performance that is political as it is personal.” ★★★★★ Time Out, 2023

STAND UP FOR REFUGEES 2024

It’s happening again!

After a total sell-out show that raised buckets of cash for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre’s 2023 Emergency Appeal, co-hosts Wil Anderson and Tom Ballard are back to do it all again this Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Don’t miss this special night of A-grade comedy excellence, featuring a super-awesome-super-secret line-up of the very best comedians performing at this year’s Festival, all of them donating their time and talents to support the ASRC’s work: providing material and legal assistance to people seeking asylum and refugees and fighting back against Australia’s cruel immigration policies.

Last year the benefit featured the likes of Anne Edmonds, Daniel Kitson, Geraldine Hickey, David O’Doherty, Sam Pang and more. The only way to find who’s taking to the stage this time around is grab yourself a ticket!

So come along and laugh good, feel good and do some good.

Co-hosted by Wil Anderson & Tom Ballard.
