Nominee – Best Comedy, Melbourne Fringe 2025. “One of the slickest hours of stand-up I’ve ever seen and packing a proper comedy punch.” Adam Hills. “Fierce and funny…Ballard is a dynamo – a whirling, toe-curling bundle of energy, who is as politically powerful as he is fantastically funny.” ★★★★½ Arts Hub. “A relentless whirl of opinion, silliness, and increasingly bad-taste jokes against those who most deserve it.” ★★★★½ Chortle [UK]. “Absolutely packed with elite gags” ★★★★ The Scotsman [UK].
