About

Come for the wry political observations, stay for the uplifting takeaways and drug stories.
It’s 2026 and tragically, comedy has become important. After years away from the festival circuit, Tim has decided it’s now time to ignore his young children and make light of the rising tide of fascism. This show will contain no less than 20 excellent jokes, 3 delightful anecdotes, 2 illegal acts and 1 apology for Tim accidentally causing an absolutely dire current situation in his native, Aotearoa.

Tim Batt is a 2x Billy T Award nominee, 0x winner and has been described as many things, "witty, relatable, and an uproariously good time" by Craccum Magazine, "political... and thoughtful. But most of all, funny" by Libel and "enjoyable and surprising" by Scoop. He can also be described as "performing soon for you in Melbourne."
