“Sam is an outstanding comedian” – Kyle Kinane

As heard on "The Joe Rogan Experience", "WTF with Marc Maron", and his own podcast "The Chubby Behemoth", his eagerly awaited first Australian live tour comes to The Empire for one night only.

For the last decade the USA's Sam Tallent (“the absurd voice of a surreal generation”- The Denver Post) has performed more than 45 weekends per year in North America, Asia & Europe. His acclaimed debut novel "Running The Light" (Doug Stanhope: “the best fictional representation of comedy in any medium ever”, Marc Maron: “a beautiful rendering of a dark reality") and his Amazon Prime comedy special "Waiting For Death To Claim Us" paint a visceral image of touring standup comedy that is as dark and hilarious as his standup itself.

His writing has appeared in Birdy Magazine and on VICE.com and he’s told jokes on Comedy Central, TruTV and VICELAND. His debut novel is soon to be a major motion picture, and his novella ATTABOY was published as an Audible Original.

He lives in Colorado and cooks dinner for his wife every night.

*Doors open from 6:00PM with food available onsite.
