Tom Gleeson

It was like a rock concert.

We had Tom Gleeson as the MC.

No

way.

So, yeah, it just depends on the company.

I do recall Mumbrella, the Mumbrella cast, talking about the best upfront last year and it was the ABC and Hugh Marks was there and it was Tom Gleeson.

and it was, I can't remember what the venue was, but it was just a pub, nothing fancy, and Tom did some stand-up and he heckled Hugh and heckled some of the big dogs and that was a huge hit.

I think the understated event where you've got some great talent, from my perspective, is a better option than doing the big showbiz.

In Australia, it's much more we skip it by not helping each other and just not having openness.

You got to see Tom Gleeson.

Tom Gleeson's going to be walking out onto that stage just about, you know.

Man.

There's no

It felt like the younger, the new generation kind of comedians.

Tom Gleeson was coming through.

And so it was – and I used to get up with a mate who didn't do stand-up, just did this with me, and another comedian called Jack Sims.

And we would get up from the audience.

You know what? Men in comedy flinch at everything all the time.

Mate, Tom Gleeson had me on hard...

He

glared at Diggs when he came here, so I don't like him.

And the comic's up the back.

Fuck them.

Mate, I'm so,

but also they don't buy tickets to my show.

No, no.

Even, um, I adore, and I think he's an icon, um, Tom Gleeson.

Tom Gleeson does high status.

Yeah.

But again, Tom Gleeson's a man, you know, he's, he's, like, I think he's amazing, but he's like a bald man-

Yeah.

Yeah

it.

Tom Gleeson's looking at the camera like, get a load of this fucking bizarre lady.

You're the teat lady? And then he's rude to you.

That's kind of his get down.
