Tom Ballard
Front Room Weston-Super-Mare, Weston-Super-Mare, BS23 1FF
After a year away from touring, doing nothing but being nice and uncontroversial, Australia’s Special Envoy For Comedy Tom Ballard returns in 2026 with a new show packed with jokes about war and being naughty and being kind and just how extremely normal everything is right now.
As seen on Fisk and Deadloch. As heard on Radio 4 and The Bugle.

“One of the slickest hours of stand-up I’ve ever seen.” Adam Hills
“Fierce and funny…Ballard is a dynamo – a whirling, toe-curling bundle of energy, who is as politically powerful as he is fantastically funny.” ★★★★½ Arts Hub
“A relentless whirl of opinion, silliness, and increasingly bad-taste jokes against those who most deserve it.” ★★★★½ Chortle [UK]
“He cuts a faintly ludicrous, pathetic figure” ★★★★ The Scotsman [UK]
“To call Ballard a comedian is being kind…..All he has is a potty mouth” hair stew, Daily Mail commenter
