Craig Egan is turning 50 and a few of his old school fav comedians are coming home to celebrate… so naturally, we’re putting on a show. It’s our first Adelaide Comedy Showcase back after the Adelaide Fringe, and what better way to kick things off than celebrating the 50th Birthday of a man who’s been watching, promoting and championing live stand-up in Adelaide since 1997.

Craig has invited some old school comedy friends to perform some of his all-time favourite material. Lineup announced closer to the show.

7pm – 9pm
Rhino Room
131 Pirie St, Adelaide

If you like fast-paced, edgy one-liners then get ready to be happy.  Jimmy Carr is going back on tour with his brand-new show ‘Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny’.

Jimmy tells jokes, and jokes are like magnets.

Jokes attract people, but they can also repel.

Some people are repelled by Jimmy’s dark brand of comedy.  This show is not for them.

But if it’s the kind of thing you like, then this is the kind of thing you’ll like.

Hurry, this will definitely sell out!

“A comedy hero for our times” The Guardian

“Jimmy Carr is a world-class comedian” The Independent

After a sell-out 2024 tour (and several life wisedoms still not absorbed), comedy chameleon Tom Sainsbury is back with his brand-new show!

After a sell-out 2024 Australian tour (and several life wisedoms still not absorbed), comedy chameleon Tom Sainsbury is back with his brand-new live show Lessons Not Learnt.

You’ll know Tom from New Zealand Taskmaster, Wellington Paranormal and his weirdly accurate social-media sketches – the ones that make you go, “Oh no… that’s me.” Whether he’s being a nosy neighbour, an overbearing boss or one of his iconic 80s mums, Tom dives headfirst into the gloriously awkward bits of everyday life.

Expect dodgy decisions, small-town scandals, misguided confidence and a few emotional breakthroughs (maybe). It’s part stand-up, part therapy session, and part fever dream of all the things Tom should have learnt by now.

So grab your mates, your mum, or that friend who never learns from their mistakes, and prepare for a night of laughter, nostalgia and light self-loathing – in the best possible way.

Fresh off performing across the UK, Indonesia, New Zealand and the Middle East in 2025/26, Jarryd’s nine years of stand-up, couch-surfing and car-sleeping have evolved into a brand-new hour of storytelling, military mayhem and very delayed regret.

With over 100 million online views and regular spots at comedy clubs all over Australia, Jarryd has built a cult following for his sharp, relatable stories from life in and after uniform.

He has shared the stage with Jimeoin, Dave Hughes, Kitty Flanagan, Joel Creasey, Tom Ballard, Dave O’Neil, Damien Power, Mark Normand, Jim Jefferies and more –

“Funny F*cker.” – The Hon Jacqui Lambie
“Next big thing.” – Joy FM
