After moving from the small country town of Brisbane, Thomas Bleach can’t find a boyfriend in Sydney. He’s tried Tinder, Grindr, LinkedIn, Raya (yes, he got accepted), Christian Mingle, and still no luck. So now he’s going to build one in a brand-new stand-up comedy special debuting at Sydney Fringe Comedy. Directed by Edan Mcgovern, this 50 minute show blends stand up comedy with lip syncs and skits as he brings you into the colourful world of his new business "Build A Boyfriend", which for legal reasons is not to be mistaken with "Build A Bear".
Thomas Bleach first debuted at Sydney Fringe in 2022 with his headline show "This Show's Not About You", which was definitely a show about someone. His stand up comedy career has seen him opening for Mitchell Coombs, performing headline shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and being nominated for Performer Of The Year at the Brisbane Pride Queens Ball in Brisbane. He also was a co-producer of The Switch Up which saw comedians do drag, and drag performers do stand-up comedy.
Outside of stand-up comedy Thomas runs a music entertainment website BLEACHED (www.bleachedistheword.com) which has seen him interviews artists like Tate McRae, Jack Antonoff, Tove Lo, George Ezra, Maisie Peters, Lauv, Simple Plan, MUNA and more. In June 2024 he launched BLEACHED: The Podcast.
