2 Truths, 1 Lie & 17 Slight Exaggerations
 

Tom Cashman is flying to Melbourne as we speak, with a new hour of stand-up that may or may not include the secret to happiness. You might know Tom from TikTok, you might know him from Taskmaster Australia or you might be grappling with the idea of him for the first time right now as you read this. It’s pointless to continue guessing your mental state. But if you like the mental state of laughing, you won’t miss this show.

'Tom Cashman is one of the most delightfully watchable comics I have seen.' ★★★★ The Scotsman 

'If you like your comedy warm, affable and with a dash of geek, Tom Cashman falls squarely in the centre of your Venn diagram.' The Age
