Comedian, author and mental health advocate Nat's What I Reckon has just announced a new tour, Panic at The Bistro, which he will be taking to seven Australian states and territories from October to December.

Following sell-out Adelaide Fringe and Darwin Comedy Festival seasons, Nat has locked in a massive 34-date tour that will see the YouTube chef bring the laughs with his relatable humour about the modern world.

The Panic at The Bistro tour kicks off with three shows in Tassie on Thursday 1 October at Du Cane Brewing in Lutruwita/Launceston, Friday 2 October at The Pier in Lutruwita/Ulverstone and Saturday 3 October at Hellenic House in Nipaluna/Hobart. The tour then hits Albury, Canberra, Wollongong, Newcastle, Bathurst, Dubbo, Central Coast, Pacific Palms, Tamworth, Coffs Harbour, Caringbah, Marrickville, Hornsby and Sydney before Nat stops off in Adelaide at Rhino Room on Thursday November 12.

The tour continues with stops in Perth, Albany, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich, Melbourne, Geelong, Chelsea Heights, Bendigo, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville before wrapping up in Cairns on Saturday 5 December at Edge Hill Tavern.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now via moretalent.com.au.

Since emerging during COVID-19 with his hit YouTube cooking series, Nat's What I Reckon has become a leading Aussie stand-up. He's amassed over six million followers, garnered millions of views on his videos and even released a couple of award-winning books.

He's also served up BBQ for hundreds of folks experiencing food insecurity in Sydney and Melbourne with Dave Grohl, eaten carp on Tony Armstrong’s Eat The Invaders and cooked with Courtney Act on her One Plus One season.

An advocate for mental health, Nat has teamed with Beyond Blue and raised tens of thousands of dollars through his fundraising activities for the charity.

Grab your tickets early and come party, champignons!
