The Little Dum Dum Club with Tommy & Karl

We're back LIVE from the Basement Comedy Club with TOM GLEESON, MEL BUTTLE and CAMERON JAMES! The pressure is on as we discover some random punters have turned up to the gig, we recap the Worst of Melbourne Comedy, there's been security issues at the venue, and we have the latest instalment of Karl doing you-know-what in public. PLUS it's week two of Abhishek's residency!

It's the first week of our annual month of live shows in Melbourne and we're joined by WIL ANDERSON, PETER HELLIAR and GEN FRICKER! It's Karl's birthday and Tommy's bankrupted himself with a surprise present for the occasion. Wil's turned up with some content after seeing a suspicious man in an alleyway, Pete's a little too keen for the podcast, and we finally crown a sponsor for the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival! PLUS we're holding auditions for The Worst of Melbourne Comedy! Is this bullying? Is it truly the Worst of Melbourne Comedy? All (none) of these questions will be answered!

This week we're joined by BEN RUSSELL and TOR SNYDER. Tommy's enlisting the services of Tor's side hustle and Karl's discovered his new favourite musical act. PLUS, Tommy almost lost his passport in Japan and we start to get serious about which potential Koh Samui sponsor we're going to work with. Or will it be all three? Or will it be a new fourth contender? Only one thing's for sure: Comedy.

This week we're joined by NICK CODY and BEN KNIGHT! Cody comes in swinging after hearing us berate him for attending the Taylor Swift concert, Knighty's had a hose up his ass, Tommy's been trying comedy in Japan, and we've had some incredible offers for sponsorship for the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival! 

We're broadcasting from a luxury hotel in Adelaide with RUSSELL HOWARD, NICK CAPPER and HARLEY BREEN! Capper's impressed by Russell's hallway, and Russell's impressed by Capper's CV of recent advertisements. We also talk about mystical nans, punching up Capper's stand-up routines, and possible future stand-up special titles.

We're live in Adelaide for our 700TH EPISODE! We've got some famous well wishers on the phone, and of course Karl's had to check in on his favourite Adelaide-based Hamburger Facebook group. Meanwhile, we learn a LOT about Tom's lifestyle, Nazeem's cracked the shits in public, Thorno's found some of the greatest merchandise of all time, and Tommy's in trouble because of a dream that his fiance had about him.

This week we're joined by DAVE O'NEIL and LEHMO! Dave's had the honour of catching a private jet to a footy club gig, we workshop some ideas to make the Qantas Lounge even fancier, Tommy's been sent a behind-the-scenes video of Eric Bana PLUS Lehmo's gone viral and we've made our first booking for The Worst of Melbourne Comedy.

This week we're joined by GREG LARSEN and MIKE GOLDSTEIN! Greg's had some issues lining up a delicious post-gig feast, Chandler's interrogating the canteen options at his gym, and we go on a riotous Ocean's Eleven-style journey with Greg Larsen as he pulls off the heist of the century on a major fast-food chain. Us so horny!

This week we're joined by MELANIE BRACEWELL & TOM BALLARD! Mel's had a spray tan JUST FOR US, Tommy's encountered two doctors with unbelievable surnames PLUS Comedy Festival season is just around the corner so that means it's time to start planning for the hottest show in the guide: The Worst of Melbourne Comedy. Who's getting booked? How loud should the house music be? Where should the seats be facing? And most importantly: what's wrong with us?
