Little will be cutting the ribbon at the Islington Business Design Centre in London at 10am on March 9 – the first day of the two-day extravaganza.

The comedian, who’s been in the UK since 1992, has appeared in numerous British TV shows, including being a regular on Channel 5’s The Wright Stuff.

“I’m chuffed TNT asked me to open its TNT Travel Show this year,” Little said.

“It’s a top destination for anyone thinking of travelling in the next year, with bonza deals on offer over the two days.”

“I have always been an Aussie-Euro-Brit. Australia is where I come from, but I have a good sense of humour – you have to be able to have the piss taken out of you here.”

As well as opening the show, I’m planning a little bespoke, five-minute routine, shedding some light on what it’s like to be an Aussie living in London.

“Then I might stick around, have a few beers and eat an Aussie pie – it’ll be like a home from home.”
