Tom Gleeson is a true master of the craft.

A sure fire, killer stand-up at the top of his game. The Gold Logie winner and Hard Quiz host brings his famed sharp wit and dry humour to his latest one hour special, Lighten Up.

Lighten Up draws heavily from recent events – from the bushfires to the pandemic, lockdowns to online shopping, day drinking to border security. Not even koalas or firefighters are off-limits for Gleeson.

The award-winning show, Lighten Up toured across the country in 2020 and 2021 to sold out crowds and five star reviews.
