Excited to announce that my filthy vulgar Leftist podcast about The Greens will be live on stage in Brisbane in May!

It’s happening on Sunday May 21st at 2pm at the brilliant Good Chat Comedy Club, with brilliant guests.

Come join comrades TOM BALLARD and EMERALD MOON for this special Greensland live edition of their podcast about Australia’s broken political system and its biggest threat: the Australian Greens.

There’ll be laffs with award-winning comic GERALDINE HICKEY and Greens member for Griffith MAX CHANDLER-MATHER will help us celebrate the one-year anniversary of the break-through 2022 election. Good stuff!

My new stand up show is called IT IS I and I’m talking it all over the joint in 2023.

After writing a book, filming a TV show, becoming an uncle, surviving the plague and going slightly mad, Tom Ballard is back with a hot new hour – just for you.

“An absolute comedy masterclass.” ★★★★★ Beat Magazine 

“Has a frankly ridiculous ability to hit all his marks and deftly detonate every punchline.” ★★★★½ The Age 

“Unrelenting and uproarious.” ★★★★½ Chortle  

“Much of his stand-up is about as funny as listening to a recording of one of Joe Stalin’s four-hour rants.” Gerard Henderson, The Australian

For more than 20 years, the good eggs at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre in Footscray have been providing material and legal support for people seeking asylum and refugees, as well as exposing and fighting back against Australia’s cruel immigration policies. They’re real good.

Now, thanks to crappy inflation and a surge in demand for their services over the pandemic, these folks are in a spot of bother – and we figure the least we can do is raise them an absolute sh*tload of cash with the power of jokes.

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 during this financially critical time.

Co-hosted by Wil Anderson & Tom Ballard.

Get in quick – this will sell out.
