triple j’s breakfast duo Tom and Alex took out the ARIA Award for Best Comedy Release. They collected their award wearing a giant novelty costume of the winning CD Tom & Alex: The Bits We’re Least Ashamed Of.
The CD encapsulates Tom & Alex’s mischief making and the hilarity that ensues every day at triple j breakfast – from Gwen, the grandmother who stitched up Kanye West’s pants at Splendour in the Grass, to Richard Kingsmill singing in an Italian accent, from the triple j team teaching Alex Dyson how to drive, to talking to Dylan, the only male stripper in Launceston. This ARIA caps off a huge year for the duo, as triple j get ready to say goodbye to beloved breakfast presenter, Tom Ballard.
Last night’s awards have taken ABC Music’s 2013 ARIA Awards tally to seven, having won four Fine Arts and one Artisan ARIA Award at a ceremony in October.
