Tom Gleeson to tour new live stand up show Out of Touch in 2025

Hard Quiz host. Taskmaster Australia host. Gold Logie winner. 5 times AACTA winner. Tom Gleeson is completely out of touch. His head is up his arse. Come along to the show and take him down a peg.

Tom Gleeson is a gold-plated comedy superstar, hosting ratings smashes and filling theatres across the country. He’s played rowdy RSLs and filled the Sydney Opera House. There isn’t a corner of this country that he hasn’t performed in.

 

 

And later this year, he’s taking a brand new show, Out of Touch, on the road, kicking off in Wangaratta in October and taking in dozens of cities and towns across the country – including Sydney Opera House and seasons at Adelaide Fringe Festival and Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2026.

 

Tom:

I can’t wait to tour Australia with my brand new stand up show. 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.).

 

On ABC TV’s The Weekly, Tom’s segment Hard Chat begat his own show Hard Quiz, which not only blitzes the ratings as it enters its eleventh season, but also earned Tom Australian television’s gong of gongs – the Gold Logie, which rubs against his five AACTAs on his very crowded trophy shelf.

Prepare for an hour of non-stop laughter. ★★★★★ Time Out
If revenge is a dish best served cold, the tasty morsels Tom Gleeson has been chilling in the deep freeze for years should safely earn him a Michelin star★★★★ The Age

Given his natural disdain for the public, Tom couldn’t resist the chance to apply it to his fellow comedians as the host of Network Ten’s Taskmaster Australia, now in its sixth season.
