Lamestream (Live) - The First Birthday Tour
The Vanguard, 42 King Street, Newtown
Lamestream (Live) - The First Birthday Tour is a series of live theatre events celebrating the first anniversary of the popular podcast Lamestream, which launched in April 2025 and covers news, politics, media, culture, and current affairs with an independent perspective hosted by award-winning journalists Osman Faruqi and Scott Mitchell. The tour features live performances by the hosts analyzing recent media and current events, along with special guests and audience Q&A sessions. It spans multiple cities including Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney, following sold-out shows in Sydney and Melbourne at the end of the previous year. The events are strictly 18+ with no exceptions for children or babies, requiring photo ID such as a current Australian driver's license or passport for entry. Venues enforce policies against intoxicated persons, outside food and drinks, and disruptive behaviors like moshing or stage diving. This national tour highlights the podcast's rapid growth and dedicated following by bringing its content to live audiences.
