ANDY ZALTZMAN - The Zaltgeist - Extra Show Added!

Following a sell-out 2024/25 UK Tour, Andy Zaltzman – host of The Bugle podcast and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, statistician on Test Match Special, and champion of Taskmaster series 18 – is returning to Australia with a brand-new stand-up show.

Fully updated due to the UK and the world both steadfastly refusing to sort themselves out, Andy assesses the state of renowned planet Earth, its under-pressure current in-house millennium, and its most famous and controversial species – the human race.

With politicians the world over striving to outdo each other in splattering their people with a cocktail of incompetence, inexplicability and insatiable dishonesty, Andy, the universe’s leading and only 2-in-1 political-comedian-and-professional-cricket-statistician, harnesses the combined 21st-century witchcraft of A.I. and his live audience. Between them, they will concoct vaguely plausible answers to perennially troublesome questions such as What?, Who?, When?, Where?, and above all Why?

WARNING: May feature talking penguin.

“Who else offers so many sideswipes at the status quo? Constantly amusing and stimulating… properly funny… a true original and a true delight.”

Dominic Maxwell, The Times ★★★★

“Zaltzman is a master of lacerating satire mixed with extreme silliness, topped off with a dash of the surreal… a peerless set from comedy’s finest cricket-loving, satirical Taskmaster champion.”

Mark Wareham, The Mail on Sunday ★★★★

“Topical laughs with a surreal ripple. This is irreverent humour with a mocking edge so sharp you could cut a diamond with it… reduced most of the people around me to tears of laughter”

Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard ★★★★
