Shane Todd Reveals 'Hold Me Back' Australian Tour Dates

The Irish comedian makes his Australian return this month.

Beloved Irish comic Shane Todd returns down under this month with his new stand-up show Hold Me Back.

Following his sold-out 2024 tour, Todd's fresh routine highlights his signature wit, razor-sharp storytelling and complete inability to take himself seriously.

Todd begins his Australian tour with two shows at Perth's Freo.social on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 October. The Irish funnyman then plays Sydney's Enmore Theatre on Sunday 25 October, followed by dates at The Tivoli in Brisbane on Wednesday 28 October and The Gov in Adelaide on Friday 30 October, finishing up at Melbourne's National Theatre on Saturday 31 October.

Tickets are on sale now at tegdainty.com.

Beginning his stand-up career posting videos on YouTube, Todd is now one of the most recognisable comedians to come out of Ireland in the past two decades.

Not only is he a hilarious comic, but Todd has a highly acclaimed podcast series, We're Not F**cking Historians, which is an alternative guide to Irish history.

Todd makes his Australian return after selling out shows across America and Canada, supporting Kevin Hart and enjoying continued success with another hugely popular podcast, Tea With Me.

Catch Shane Todd performing at The Gov on Friday 30 October. Tickets on sale at tegdainty.com.
