Abyssal political divides, global conflict, a worm in the White House – and a desperate need to have a laugh.
Cutting through the chaos of 2025, Hannah Ferguson—co-founder of Cheek Media Co, bestselling author and youth media literacy icon—returns to the stage with CHEEK LIVE: Everything is F*cked, a national live tour blending sharp political commentary and comedy. After a year in which she delivered a headline-making National Press Club address and was named “one of the most influential young women in Australia”, Ferguson invites audiences to “take your spot on the lifeboat of reason” – a night of insight and hilarity that re-affirms hope in humanity.
“If the news also makes you want to crawl into a hole, instead come for a night out with progressive people to have a laugh and decompress,” Ferguson says. “Donald Trump would call this show the worst show he’s ever seen, very bad, from an angry, dangerous woman.”
Catharsis, celebration, and the chance laugh off the anxiety of the modern news cycle.
Armed with analysis, a moral compass and a microphone – and joined by special guests – Ferguson will dissect where we are, how we got here, what lies ahead, and the power we have to influence change. From geopolitical chaos, to absurdities in daily life, nothing is off-limits. Everything is F*cked, but Hannah brings clarity and comedy to the chaos.
“I never expected the impact to be this big, but Cheek’s success is tied to its transparency,” Ferguson has said of her media platform. That same authenticity and fearless wit will ignite the stage each night of the tour.
ADDED DATES
Tickets to her 2025 tour—CHEEK LIVE: Everything is F*cked—sold out during pre-sales at Sydney City Recital Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre and Perth’s Heath Ledger Theatre.
With the huge community outpouring for more events, The Sydney Opera House has stepped in to co-produce Hannah Ferguson’s largest-ever show at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, and Fane have added a Canberra date and additional shows in Melbourne and Perth.
In an age where the relative success of public figures is so often calculated by their social media following, Hannah Ferguson defies the metric with reach that outweighs all others in the space, supported by her two bestselling books (Bite Back and Taboo) and a dedicated Substack following.
Compassion, ethics, and communicating truth are a rallying cry for the progressively minded that have felt the continuous disappointment of platitudes and concession. In holding to morality, Hannah now carries the banner of hundreds of thousands of Australians, many of whom marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in opposition to genocide.
