Humanity naturally evolves toward the greater good with social justice issues like this. For example, it won’t be long before two bearded men can marry. I’m not surprised to see more, socially intelligen­t young people growing beards. It’s a natural progressio­n.

Joining the Beards on their tour is musical comedian Franky Walnut from Allora.

He is a country boy who’s been described as John Williamson meets Kevin Bloody Wilson without as much swearing.

His debut album The Franky Walnut Reflective Drink Coaster was released in April and he even featured a solo show at the Sydney Comedy Festival.

Tickets for The Beard Album: Australian Launch Tour cost $25 and can be purchased online at thebeards.com.au/tour.
