In the finale of its second season, Tom Ballard, stand up comedian and former co-host of Triple J Breakfast stars as the shy and recently out Mark, who is challenged by his sister Natalie to bring a date to their brother’s wedding.

Mark asks out the charismatic nursing home receptionist Tom, played by Perth-bred stand up comedian Joel Creasey, and hilarity ensues.

Creasey made a brief appearance as Tom in the first season of ‘It’s a Date’, when he inadvertently discovered a romance between two residents in the nursing home.

Each episode of ‘It’s a Date’ features different characters going through their own relationship trials and tribulations, exploring a question set up in the beginning of the episode. Tonight’s episode will attempt to answer the age old question, ‘Should you take a date to a wedding?’

‘It’s a Date’ has featured a number of popular Australian actors and performers, including Celia Pacquola, Matt Okine, Deborah Mailman, Ronny Chieng, Sean Micalef and Magda Szubanski, who in a recent episode played a lesbian hoping to find a sperm donor so she could start a family with her partner.

‘It’s a Date’ is on ABC1 at 9pm Thursday December 4th.
