Henry Rollins returns to Australia this April-May at the invite of Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Sydney Comedy Festival. It's not the first time Henry has appeared at the Melbourne Festival having performed a series of sold out shows at the same event back in 2001. It is however, a first for the Sydney Comedy Festival and both cities will be treated to Henry's latest hilarious and topical muse entitled the FREQUENT FLYER TOUR.

In addition to Sydney and Melbourne, Henry will also be performing spoken shows in Cairns, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth and making a dash across the water for shows in Wellington and Auckland.

""Since I was last on tour, I have been working in television and radio, traveling all over the world," says Henry. "And like everyone else, dealing with the changes America - and the world - is going through. I thought America would become a more peaceful place in 2009. I had no idea the country had so many lunatics. There's a lot to remark upon, of course. There always is."

When Henry talks about traveling the world, he's not referring to plush resorts and genteel European cities. Henry's current and most recent travels include stops in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Brunei, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, China, and Senegal. These global experiences - like past excursions to such vacation hotspots as Pakistan, Myanmar, and Siberia - not only supply humorous anecdotes for Henry's talking shows, but they inform his worldview. As Shepherd Fairey's tour poster bills it, "Knowledge without mileage equals bullsh*t."

Amidst his extensive globetrotting, Henry the actor, author, and radio host remains as busy as ever. Henry recently concluded an extended guest run as rival thug A.J. Weston on the FX biker drama Sons of Anarchy. He continues to do his weekly radio show on L.A.'s revered NPR affiliate KCRW.

Henry's latest book, A Mad Dash, is now available at www.henryrollins.com, through his own 2.13.61 imprint. Picking up where 2007's A Preferred Blur left off, A Mad Dash is a frenetic travelogue spanning over one hundred live performances and the filming of five documentaries on five continents. Henry has also been tracking his travels - and sharing his thoughts on politics and the state of the world - on his "Straight Talk Espresso" blog at vanityfair.comVanityFair.com.
