Tom Gleeson - Out of Touch

Hard Quiz host. Taskmaster Australia host. Gold Logie winner. 7 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.

“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.)”

“In an hour of solid stand-up he never misses a beat and although we know we should resent being told we are warming our hands to his charisma, we can’t because it’s true” ★★★★★ The Advertiser, 2026

“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

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 biggest theatres, there isn’t a corner of this country that he hasn’t performed in.

On ABC-TV’s The Weekly, Tom’s segment Hard Chat beget 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 7 AACTAs on his very crowded trophy shelf.

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 sixth season of Taskmaster Australia.
