American comic Bobby Lee has announced a solo Australian and New Zealand tour taking place in August.
One-half of the massively successful Bad Friends podcast with Andrew Santino, Lee has become a household name with his edgy, hysterical view of the world.
Last here in 2024 with Santino for a huge run of nearly sold-out shows, Lee’s tour comes in support of his upcoming Hulu stand-up special, which will be released on Disney+ in Australia.
Lee’s tour kicks off in Melbourne at Plenary on Friday 14 August and continues with dates at Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre on Sunday 16 August, Sydney’s TikTok Entertainment Centre on Thursday 20 August, Brisbane’s Great Hall on Saturday 22 August and New Zealand’s Bruce Mason Centre in Auckland on Sunday 23 August.

A stalwart of the American comedy circuit for decades, Lee began his stand-up career in the ‘90s, gaining a name for himself at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles before getting his big break as a cast member of the sketch comedy show MADtv in 2001.
Lee has branched out into acting, with pivotal roles in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Pineapple Express and The Dictator, while also co-hosting the podcasts TigerBelly with Khalyla Kuhn and Bad Friends with Andrew Santino.
