Tom Witcombe is a romantic, so where did he take his wife on the first day of their
honeymoon?
Where else but New York City’s 9/11 Museum—a place where millions of people go each
year to grieve, pay their respects and, evidently, take selfies.
But as he stood at Ground Zero, watching tourists extend selfie sticks and hearing the
snaps of front-facing cameras, Tom started to ask himself a few questions: Is this how
shameless we’ve become? Are people really this desperate for attention? Would this be a
hilarious name for a stand-up comedy show?
The answer to all three questions? Yes.
Selfies at the 9/11 Museum is a brand-new hour of relentless dark humour from a comedian
who toes the line between hilarious and offensive as well as any comedian in the country.
If you’re a fan of Ricky Gervais, Anthony Jeselnik, or Jimmy Carr, come see the closest
thing Australia has to offer. Tom is a veteran of the Australian comedy scene, having
worked with Frenchy, Daniel Muggleton, Andrew Hamilton, and Amos Gill. His full-length
2022 comedy special, Ignorant, has received over 100K views on YouTube, and he has
amassed tens of millions of views across Instagram and TikTok. He is also the host of the
fastest-growing comedy podcasts in the country, Flog Cabin.
Tom is a regular performer at some of the top national and international comedy events. His
electric performances have won over crowds at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Adelaide
Fringe Festival, and Wollongong Comedy Festival. In 2025, he will return for the third
consecutive year to the Sydney and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals.
