My First Joke with Tom Ballard: Endure the Awkwardness of This 'Fun Size' Bit

There's nothing comedians like more than receiving a demand to tell a joke.

Kidding. They hate it.

So instead, we're asking Australia's best comics to tell us their first joke, in all its embarrassing, cringe-worthy glory.

In this episode of 'My First Joke', we cornered stand-up (and Student Edge's ol m8) Tom Ballard, who shared a humdinger from his first routine at age 16.

(NB: This video is recommended for viewers over the age of 15 on account of the hugely awkward joke it contains.)

You can see Tom perform not one but two shows at Perth Fringe World between February 1 and 5, 2017: Boundless Plains to Share and a Work in Progress. You can catch the rest of his dates in Adelaide, Hobart, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney here.
