TWO SIDES TO TOMMY

THE AUSSIE COMEDIAN OPENS UP ABOUT HIS NEW SHOW, AGEING AND SHOWING HIS SENSITIVITY

- Sara Tapia

It's to be expected when you go to one of Tommy Little's comedy shows that there will be no shortage of laughs. And his current show, which the comedian is performing at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and taking on tour across the country, is certainly no exception. “This year's show is just stupid and filthy,” he tells WHO of the aptly titled I'm Not Proud. “I think it's the funniest show I've done so far.”

With Little's previous shows often focusing on a big challenge he's successfully undertaken – “like running a marathon in Antarctica or swimming the English Channel” – this time around he's changed tack. “I realised people are over hearing about success, so this is about all the times I failed,” he shares. “It's great, because if people think their lives are bad or they've got failures of their own, they can forget them for an hour and come and laugh at me or with me. I don't really mind.”
