Comedian Tommy Little likens himself to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian in a controversial post

He’s the Melbourne-based comedian who loves to crack off-coloured gags on The Project.

And on Thursday, Tommy Little took it upon himself to don a brown wig and compare himself to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, with mixed results.

The 36-year-old’s Project co-host Jan Fran seemed lost for words, writing: ‘Okay, I’m not sure what’s happening but this is upsetting me deeply.’

Jan’s comment attracted 42 likes, with others also admitting they had mixed feelings about the post.

‘Kinda mean,’ commented one follower, while another added, ‘F**k I hate this.’ 

Added another: ‘This is not okay. This is NOT. OKAY.’
