Surging New York stand-up Shane Gillis is coming to Melbourne on an Australian tour and he'll now play two shows at the Athenaeum Theatre in August.

Gillis has garnered worldwide popularity after the success of his first filmed special, Shane Gillis: Live in Austin, in which the US comedian frankly addresses his family’s support of Donald Trump and his sister’s heroin addiction, among other things.

Gillis’ special has racked up over four million views and his down to earth style has become a favourite amongst his peers and comedy fans alike.
