One of Australian comedy’s biggest stars will headline a night of laughs at the Altona Sports Club on December 18.
Award-winning stand up comedian, actor, writer and broadcaster Tom Ballard will perform alongside three other renowned comedians in the latest in a series of live comedy events at the Altona venue presented by Comedy House AU.
Well known for his role hosting ’Reality Check’ and ’Tonightly with Tom Ballard’ on ABC TV, Ballard also appeared in the Amazon Prime comedy crime series Deadloch and is a former host of Triple J breakfast.
His biting political and social comedy has resulted in invites to major comedy festivals abroad, including Montreal Just For Laughs, while he’s also guest hosted the ABC discussion show ’Q&A’, interviewed all sorts of political figures on his popular podcast ’Like I’m A Six-Year-Old.’
Joining Ballard on the bill will be comedian and an international touring professional acrobat Andrea Augustus who will open the show.
Following Augustus will be Melbourne international comedy festival regular Katie Wainhouse who is fresh from performing to 4-5000 people at Hamer Hall.
Keeping it in the family, Katie’s husband and 30 year veteran of the Australian comedy circuit Chris Wainhouse will then perform, before Ballard takes to the stage for his headline set.
Altona local and star of Channel 10 reality show ‘Hunted Million Dollar Heist’ Joe White, will MC the evening.
The event is strictly adults only with photo ID required for venue entry.
Pre-show dinner is available at the Altona Sports Club Bistro, but bookings are essential.
