He's become a household name in comedy circles, but before he was the Suburban Footballer, and visiting Booroorban, Tom Siegert was just a young bloke from the North East who loved having a kick.

Recently, Tom came with comedy royalty Dave O’Neil to Booroorban.

Reviews were raving, with people flocking from miles around to pack out the Booroorban hall.

"The night had a real community feel that saw us learning all about the town including the history of the pub, how many people in the the crowd owned aeroplanes and who had upcoming vasectomies," Tom said after the event.

"A huge thanks to Bella, Di, The Mullet and the rest of the committee for making Dave and I feel so welcome and for putting on such a great night. All the best legends."

Tom burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s with a strong performance in the FHM search for Australia's funniest man.

He spent much of his early days on stage at Australia's biggest comedy club The Comics Lounge, where he enhanced his reputation as a young gun of Australian comedy, supporting some of the best acts in the business; including Dave Hughes, Fiona O'Loughlin and Jimeoin.

Tom is now a star in his own right and has found a cult following with his YouTube sensation The Suburban Footballer; a series of short sketches about the goings-on at a local suburban football club.

His credentials extend well beyond his stand-up comedy, he has also written and starred in many segments for The Footy Show and in the Channel 7 series Kinne, which won him rave reviews and went to a second series.

With a sell-out season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Perth Fringe Festival in 2019, Tom has also released two books 'The Suburban Footballer' and the kid book 'Harry and The Magic Footy Tree' which he also illustrated.

Tom can provide a performance that is guaranteed to add laughter to any function and make it a memorable night for all attending.

A charming performer, with razor-sharp wit, Tom is a brilliant comic performer, who quickly builds a good rapport with the audience. A great storyteller with a style that is warm, charming and inoffensive, he has any audience appreciating his hysterically funny routines and talking about them for days after.
