Tommy Little is the reigning rock star of Australian comedy. Now the country's favourite dickhead has done something that nobody thought was a good idea, he became a pilot. While most of us were busy giving up on baking in the lockdowns, Tommy aimed for the heavens, taking flying lessons and nailing his first solo flight (well, sort of). You'll hear about this, and other adventures in Pretty Fly For A Dickhead. On stage, Tommy is a perpetual motion machine, constantly working the crowd and landing line after line.

While Melbourne was locked down, Dave Hughes was trending. He went viral during the pandemic and managed to get himself in trouble with pretty much everyone. Luckily, Hughesy is zen. He is at peace with the chaos he creates, knowing that from great turmoil comes even greater material. Hughesy has always attacked his comedy like a man with nothing to lose. A week hasn't gone by in the last 25 years that Hughesy hasn't done stand up, whether headlining an iconic theatre or jumping up at a tiny club. What has worried him that day becomes fodder for that night's material. To him, every audience is a great crowd and they should never forget that.

The brand new stand-up special was recorded at Sydney’s magnificent Enmore Theatre. Hosted by Rhys Nicholson (RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under), the concert features a cast of award-winning LGBTQIA+ comedy superstars, including Urzila Carlson, Geraldine Hickey, Cassie Workman, and Chris Parker.

Her stand-up special released earlier this year on Amazon Prime has been making audiences cry with laughter.
