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.

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 5 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.

“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

Duck Pond

9 – 12 Jan 2026

When Swan Lake meets The Ugly Duckling, feathers will fly. Circa, Australia’s trailblazing contemporary circus company, takes ballet’s most beloved classic and flips it on its head. With soaring aerials, a sequinned duck army, burlesque black swans and a cheeky twist on the fairytale you thought you knew, Duck Pond is a high-octane fusion of beauty, comedy and jaw-dropping skill. Quirky, beautiful and delightfully irreverent. This is Swan Lake, but not as you know it.
