TOD Talks
Terrible Ideas, Improvised.
Each night some of the finest comedians of the festival try to convince us they that are experts... the twist is, they will have no idea what their expert subject is until they walk out on stage! Supported by presention slides they have never seen before.
It is a masterclass in sh*t-talking. A battleground of pop-culture references, quick wit, cringeworthy puns, and improvised absurdity.
TOD Talks will have you clutching your sides in stitches, hanging off every word, and grateful you’re not the one getting on stage.
"The backyard cricket of TED Talks"
Anything can happen in TOD Talks, but rarely are they good ideas.

Presented by: Gatt&Owen
Owen is both an engineer and expert sh*t talker, performing comedy and presenting science for over ten years. Hosting shows at Fringe festivals with sold-out runs of 'Everything You Know is BullSh*t!' (2017) 'TOD Talks' (2018-2023) and 'Dizney in Drag' (2020-23). His partner in weekend arts and craft sessions, Michael Gatt, is a mastermind creative not to be trifled with, but trifle is welcomed as bribes. They once did musical comedy in front of 1200 people at a RAW comedy grand final, both their voices broke back to pre-puberty on the first note, never to be the same again. 14 years on, Gatt holds all the power in TOD Talks, as the Dungeon Master of the show. In 2019 they got asked to do a real life TEDx talk... about TOD Talks. The irony was just fantastic.
