Edinburgh Fringe
Tom Ballard: It is I
Riotous hour of personal and political stand-up. A joy to witness when in full flow as he is here.
Nominated: Best Newcomer and Best Show, Edinburgh Comedy Awards and Best Show, Melbourne Comedy Festival. Winner: Best Comedy Performer, Helpmann Awards. As heard on BBC Radio 4 and The Bugle. As seen on the Amazon Prime comedy series Deadloch. One of Australia's hottest comedians (not physically) delivers a brand-new show about robots, the monarchy and death. 'Unrelenting and uproarious ****½' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Brave, biting, ballsy and ultimately, brilliant' ***** (TimeOut). '[Ballard] has a frankly ridiculous ability to hit all his marks and deftly detonate every punchline' ****½ (Age).
