17 - 20 May 2023

Too often this issue has been left out of comedy shows and there's a good reason for that, It's pretty bloody hard to make a human-made genocide of humans funny. But Tim is going to give it a solid go.

Hot off his Melbourne and Sydney festival runs, this will be a sensational night of sometimes-political, always organic, free-range comedy.

"Witty, relatable, and an uproariously good time" - Craccum

"It’s political and personal, cultural and thoughtful. But most of all it's funny." - Libel
