Continuing to establish itself as Australia’s – œyouth broadcaster’, Triple J has announced that its new Breakfast team for 2010 will be comic newcomers Tom Ballard and Alex Dyson – who at 19 and 21 will be the youngest breaky team in the country.

Dyson and Ballard were discovered by Triple J Program Director Chris Scadden at the Raw Comedy Final in 2006. After a stint slogging it out on the graveyard shift the lads were swiftly promoted to Weekend Breakfast, where they have been trying out their funny bits on the hung over and early risers ever since.

The pair met at playgroup in Warrnambool, the isolated coastal town of Victoria, which was also home to fellow breakfast funny man Dave Hughes. Who would have thought sheep and rain could be so conducive to developing a sense of humour.

Breakfast with Tom & Alex weekdays 6 – 9am from Monday 11th January 2010.
