Tommy Little is... Funny


I haven't been to Sydney's Comedy store in a while and it was a nice return to a good show by young Tommy Little. And by young and in his own words 29 is not young, young but still young enough for old comedy fans to think he has some growth time.

Tommy's latest show is Middleclass Gangster, it's not controversial, it's polite and almost Rove like comedy. He swears but he never goes over the line despite saying their is casual racism in his show. For $30 a ticket and an hour of your time you can be sure Tommy is going to deliver and with the friendly 7pm time slot I was in heaven.

Tommy as well is not bad looking which almost makes the hour not only funny but east on the eye.



Tommy has had a couple of appearances on the ABC in Time of Our Lives appearing as the divine Claudia Karvan's rebound and in the recent episode of Back Seat Drivers, he now is also hitting 6% of Melbourne folk on breakfast radio on the NOVA network.

Like Sydney NOVA is not doing so great and the sounds different quote is not really ringing true, it's a little more like sounds similar.

That aside Tommy is a media figure on the way up, whether it's the indie ABC way and on the road to replacing the likes of Will Anderson and Adam Hills (although fellow up start Josh Earl already tried) or a new version of Merrick & Rosso, Tommy Little is on a roll.

His show, funny all the way and not over the top offensive trying too hard. That said I think if Tommy does play his cards right (which at the end of the show he sells coffee mugs and shakes your hand on the way out) I think this guy is one to watch. Being managed as well by Australia's hottest comedy producers Token does hurt either.

Tommy Little hell yes I will be seeing you in Sydney next time, what a champ and a seemingly nice and normal dude off the stage too well done.

Whilst we are on comedy some other ace gigs to look out for in Sin City:

Former Spicks & Specks Host JOSH EARL

JOEL CREASEY is rude and crude, and that's the way I like comedy.

RHYS NICHOLSON has attitude, good and his a Sydney local even better check him out.

MATT OKINE co-hosts Breakfast on JJJ and has a little more reach than Tommy on the radio thing and recently shared a pic showing he has a short tail, weird but true.
