Gold-plated comedy superstar Tom Gleeson is no stranger to live performance, and in 2025 and 2026, he’ll hit the stage once more for the ‘Out Of Touch’ tour.
Aussies know him as the host of ‘Hard Quiz’ and ‘Taskmaster Australia’. . . As well as for taking home the Gold Logie, and winning five AACTA Awards. He’s completely out of touch. . . And his head is up his arse. This live show is an opportunity to ‘take him down a peg’.
“I can’t wait to tour Australia with my brand new stand up show,” Tom says. “Performing live is my natural state. If you think the banter on my TV shows is loose, wait until you see me live. I’m probably the only TV star in Australia who’s happy to stand on stage and cop abuse from the audience. Come along and heckle! You never know, you might get the better of me. (You won’t.)”
‘Out Of Touch’ will kick off in Wangaratta in October, and take in dozens of cities and towns across the country, including Sydney Opera House, and seasons at Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2026.
Tom’s ‘Hard Chat’ segment on ABC’s ‘The Weekly’ turned into its own quiz show, ‘Hard Quiz’. It’s blitzing ratings as it enters its 11th season, and earned Tom his Gold Logie. Plus, ‘Taskmaster Australia’ is now in its sixth season.
Tickets are on sale 14 August.
