Presented by: Live Nation

After a sell-out 2024 Australian tour (and several life wisedoms still not absorbed), comedy chameleon Tom Sainsbury is back with his brand-new live show Lessons Not Learnt.

You’ll know Tom from New Zealand Taskmaster, Wellington Paranormal and his weirdly accurate social-media sketches - the ones that make you go, “Oh no… that’s me.” Whether he’s being a nosy neighbour, an overbearing boss or one of his iconic 80s mums, Tom dives headfirst into the gloriously awkward bits of everyday life.

Expect dodgy decisions, small-town scandals, misguided confidence and a few emotional breakthroughs (maybe). It’s part stand-up, part therapy session, and part fever dream of all the things Tom should have learnt by now.

So grab your mates, your mum, or that friend who never learns from their mistakes, and prepare for a night of laughter, nostalgia and light self-loathing - in the best possible way.

Hold onto your sides… Tom Sainsbury is rolling back into town, wiser in theory, but not in practice.
