Tom Gleeson

Hard Quiz host. Taskmaster Australia host. Gold Logie winner. Seven times AACTA winner. Tom Gleeson is completely out of touch.

Tom 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. Now he’s heading back to Darwin and it’s your chance to see a great hour of comedy and take him down a peg.

On ABC-TV’s The Weekly, Tom’s segment Hard Chat led to his own show Hard Quiz, which not only blitzes the ratings, but also earned Tom Australian television’s gong of gongs – the Gold Logie, which rubs against his seven 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. But he saves the best for his live shows. 

“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.)”
