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 is a multi award-winning NZ comedian and podcaster is coming back to Sydney. Most famous for The Worst Idea of All Time, his decade-long podcast with Guy Montgomery that has over 20 million downloads and counting. He is the producer and co-creator of some of NZ's biggest comedy podcasts.
Eternal Optimist is a one hour straight standup show. A combination of political humour commenting on the insane fascist-curious (at least!) era we live, interspersed with personal anecdotes on parenting two kids under 5, and the importance of taking drugs. This show is aimed to address the dire times we live in by making a strong argument for why being optimistic and positive is actually the right take to have - no matter what the internet tells you.
