“Being out on the road just for the sake of it is what it’s all about” he says. “Anniversaries are nice, but the road is where it happens. Night after night, sweaty, a little chaotic, unpredictable. Hand to hand combat”. He winks.

LUKE HEGGIE
“I won’t say it again” 

Sat 13 June 2026
Tom Atkin Hall Tugun

Doors open 6.15pm

Luke Heggie is is an Australian comedian who works mainly as a stand up comic, but not one of those ones who asks audience members their names and then proceeds to remind them what they look like.

He has been touring shows throughout festivals and beyond for over a decade. He has been writing and performing a new hour show every year. A lot of comics say they do that, but they're lying.

In 2022/23 Luke wrote and starred in a 6 part series for ABC's The Weekly, turning his stand up into sketches, entitled Joyful Strains. Other appearances on the small screen include the Just for Laughs Stand-Up Series for the Comedy Channel, Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala for both Channel 10 and the ABC, as well as ABC's Comedy Next Generation and Paramount Plus. He's also appeared on Question Everything and The Project. 

“I won’t say it again” is a compilation of bits, lovingly curated from the last five years. If you don't like that, you can rack off.  

The exact same people who pay three figures to watch legacy bands playing songs from back when they were happy, will never forgive hearing the same set of words from a comedian. If that's you, you can rack off. 

There will be one new joke in this show. The rest is old. Most comics have this protocol anyway, while making up a new title. They can rack off too.
