IT IS I 2023 Tour

Posted on by

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.

“Brave, biting, ballsy and ultimately, brilliant.” ★★★★★ Time Out 

“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

“[The audience’s] laughter was to Ballard’s jokes what applause and chants are at a Trump rally.” Holly Lawford-Smith
