Nat’s What I Reckon Will Launch PANIC AT THE BISTRO Tour

Following sell-out Adelaide Fringe and Darwin Comedy Festival seasons with a second show in Darwin added to meet the demand for tickets, Nat's What I Reckon is taking his brand-new show, Panic at The Bistro, to every remaining Australian state and territory with a massive, thirty-four date tour!

A unique voice in comedy with a love for taking the playful and thorough piss out of his surroundings—comedian, author, mental health advocate and content creator Nat has won awards for his best-selling books, amassed over six million followers and hundreds of millions of views on his hilarious videos, and won hearts and minds across the globe with his trademark sweary message of inclusivity and kindness.

He's blown our minds with his diverse musical taste when he guest-programmed Rage; delivered a talk at TEDx Sydney; cooked and served up BBQ for hundreds of folks experiencing food insecurity in Sydney and Melbourne with Dave Grohl; eaten carp on Tony Armstrong's Eat The Invaders and cooked with Courtney Act on her One Plus One season.

Nat's openness and honesty about his own mental health struggles, and commitment to doing what he can to help remove stigma, has seen him raise tens of thousands of dollars for not-for-profit support service Beyond Blue—both in his role as an ambassador for the charity, his fundraising for the annual Big Blue Table, and through personally donating and matching cash prizes from his book awards.

His hilarious, quirky social commentary and warm, open interview style has seen collaborations with the likes of Briggs, Jessica Mauboy, Keith Urban and Teddy Swims and guest appearances on live events including Chat 10 Looks 3 with Annabel Crabb and Leigh Sales and Osher Günsberg's Story Club.

The Panic at The Bistro tour is set to kick off with three shows in Tassie, when Nat with his "cackle chorus" and channel cohort Jules hit Launceston, Ulverstone and Hobart October 1 through 3. On October 14 through 17 the show heads to Albury then Canberra, Wollongong and Newcastle. October 23 and 24 sees them head inland to Bathurst and Dubbo. The following week takes the show to the Central Coast on October 29, up the highway to Pacific Palms on October 30, Tamworth October 31 and Coffs Harbour on November 1.

Thursday 5 through Saturday 7 November sees a run of Sydney shows in Caringbah, Marrickville's Factory Theatre and Hornsby RSL. After which the gang head interstate, with a show in Adelaide on October 12 before hitting Perth and Albany on October 13 and 14. Then Queensland calls with November 18 on the Gold Coast, November 19 on the Sunshine Coast, two shows at Brisbane Powerhouse on November 20 and 21 and Ipswich on November 22. Next up Victoria gets a run with Melbourne on November 25, Geelong November 26 and back to Chelsea Heights and Melbourne November 27 and 28 before wrapping up in Bendigo on November 29. And finally to round out this epic tour it's up to tropical Queensland from December 1 through 5 with shows in Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns!

With hilarious live shows that consistently sell out theatres and comedy festivals and have picked up stellar reviews across Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and Europe - you won't want to miss Nat live on stage.
