Comedian Tom Gleeson is bringing his particular brand of quirky humour to the Western Downs this spring.

Gleeson is currently on TV with his own segment in the popular ABC show The Weekly With Charlie Pickering and has also been a regular on panel shows and breakfast television.

In October you'll have the chance to see him in person as he will be doing a tour of the region called Not Just For Laughs.

Gleeson will be supported on stage by rising Australian comic Damien Power in a series of free events aimed to help support those facing the hardship of drought.

The events have been funded through the Queensland Government Community Drought Support Package.

You can catch up with Not Just For Laughs comedy nights in the following locations:

 Thursday October 8, Tara Memorial Hall

 Friday October 9, Miles Leichhardt Centre

 Saturday October 10, Dalby Showgrounds Pavilion

 Sunday October 11, Chinchilla Cultural Centre

Tickets for these events will be released on Monday September 7.

Stay tuned for more details closer to the time.
