ABC: “Tonightly”
Tonightly with Tom Ballard is an Australian comedy entertainment show presented by comedian Tom Ballard and regular contributors Bridie Connell, Greg Larsen, Greta Lee Jackson and Nina Oyama. It aired on ABC Comedy from 4 December 2017 until 7 September 2018. The show was described as an “irreverent, fast-paced” look at the day in news and culture, with Ballard calling it “undergraduate filth”. Tonightly with Tom Ballard was filmed a few hours before broadcast from the studios of the ABC’s Ultimo headquarters.
An early review of Tonightly with Tom Ballard was positive, saying “the writing is top notch, the performances strong and getting stronger, and the filmed inserts are beautifully realised.”
‘Sex Pest’, a song from the series performed by Bridie Connell and Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd, won the 2018 ARIA Award for Best Comedy Release. Tonightly Albumly, a collection of original songs from the series’ run, was released on all digital services via ABC Music.
