ANDY ZALTZMAN – The Zaltgeist
Following a sell-out 2024/25 UK Tour, Andy Zaltzman – host of The Bugle podcast and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, statistician on Test Match Special, and champion of Taskmaster series 18 – is returning to Australia with a brand-new stand-up show.
Fully updated due to the UK and the world both steadfastly refusing to sort themselves out, Andy assesses the state of renowned planet Earth, its under-pressure current in-house millennium, and its most famous and controversial species – the human race.
With politicians the world over striving to outdo each other in splattering their people with a cocktail of incompetence, inexplicability and insatiable dishonesty, Andy, the universe’s leading and only 2-in-1 political-comedian-and-professional-cricket-statistician, harnesses the combined 21st-century witchcraft of A.I. and his live audience. Between them, they will concoct vaguely plausible answers to perennially troublesome questions such as What?, Who?, When?, Where?, and above all Why?
WARNING: May feature talking penguin.
“Who else offers so many sideswipes at the status quo? Constantly amusing and stimulating… properly funny… a true original and a true delight.”
Dominic Maxwell, The Times ★★★★
“Zaltzman is a master of lacerating satire mixed with extreme silliness, topped off with a dash of the surreal… a peerless set from comedy’s finest cricket-loving, satirical Taskmaster champion.”
Mark Wareham, The Mail on Sunday ★★★★
“Topical laughs with a surreal ripple. This is irreverent humour with a mocking edge so sharp you could cut a diamond with it… reduced most of the people around me to tears of laughter”
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard ★★★★

ARSELESS CHAPS – Damian Cowell & Tony Martin
It’s a TISM front man and comedy icon’s electro-banger duo. In the grand tradition of Groove Armada, Daft Punk, The Presets and Barlow and Chambers, Damian Cowell, the guy who pretends to be the singer of TISM and comedy royalty Tony Martin, knob twiddle their way into your nervous system. They bumped into each other in Damian Cowell’s Disco Machine and Tony Martin’s Sizzletown and now the world’s oldest ravers are colliding in a full-on electroclash.
What can you expect from brains that gave you TISM, The Late Show, Martin Molloy and Get This?
Beatz with a ‘Z’ plus reprehensibly flippant lyrics about life’s terrors.
Cowell and Martin sing, dance, do that widdly thing on their cheap synths and embody the ancient philosophy of Fosagawi.
Make sure you’re sorted for Es, Wizz and Metamucil.
Rachel’s Party at the Rhino Room Late Show
Celebrating the life of Rachel Krieg: the soul of The Howling Owl and the heart of Rhino Room.
The last Rhino Room Late Show of Fringe was always Rachel’s birthday and she always celebrated it with us at the show. So to remember this incredible human being, the last Rhino Late Show will always be Rachel’s Party.
After paying the artists as Rachel would have wanted, all ticket sales and 100% of bar will be donated to SAHMRI to continue their much-needed research into finding better preventions and treatments for cancer. Last year we raised over $13,500, lets add to that total again this year.
Come raise a glass, laugh loud, and help continue her legacy of kindness, creativity and connection.
If you can’t attend, you can donate in Rachel’s name to support SAHMRI’s work at AdelaideComedy.com
Jimmy Carr – Laughs Funny
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’.

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!

BRETT BLAKE – LITTLE TURD
In 2002 Brett Blake was charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and assaulting a public officer. Is he guilty? You be the judge.
He was 16 years old and facing a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
What happened next surprised him, his parents, his lawyers, the neighbours and even the judge.
This is a story of the importance of second chances, the hypocritical expectations we have of young people, and how your number one enemy might just end up being your biggest champion.
Only Brett can manage to make a story of police brutality, learning disabilities, questionable 90’s parenting and growing up in a shit suburb “funny”.
In 2025 Brett toured ‘Little Turd’ to sold out crowds across Australia, smashed his Edinburgh Fringe run, and was nominated for best show at The Melbourne Comedy Festival.
This is your last chance to find out what everyone has been raving about! Do not miss out.
Brett has been seen on the 2024 Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, Question Everything, Spicks and Specks and is the co-host of Work Hates Podcast .
Directed by Tom Ballard.

Testimonials
Walking through the doors of the Rhino Room always reminds me of what I like about comedy. In the dirty little green room all are equal. Reputations are left at the door. New comics swap punch-lines with people you would normally only see on the TV. But if a comedian is killing on stage, then the backstage empties and every comic is found side stage, watching, laughing, riding the energy of the gig. The outside world doesn’t exist. It’s all about the show.
Wil Anderson
I love the Rhino Room because it’s the best comedy room in Adelaide. As for the bar … I can always remember walking in but I can never remember walking out. Too much fun.
Tom Gleeson
Gold Logie Winner, Hard Chat and Hard Quiz
What I love about the Adelaide Comedy Gigs is that apart from the providing the opportunity to see top-line comedy acts at about half the price you would pay to see them during the Fringe. There’s somewhere I can go to forget my troubles for a few hours and have a good laugh. It’s the best form of therapy I know! And as a regular comedygoer, it’s fascinating to watch the comedians (and even individual jokes) develop over time. Plus there’s the satisfaction of knowing that when some of the current crew make it big (which they will), I’ll be able to say “I saw them before they were famous…”
David Hyland
I love Adelaide Comedy because it is a symbol of fun, laughter, friendship and family. It has given me so many wonderful memories in the past few years, and I know it will always be a part of my laugh, whether I be behind the scenes or in the audience. So much love for AC and everyone who help to make it happen.
Lauren ‘Lolly Dolly’ Thiel
The Rhino Room is not only a great venue to see comedy; it’s also THE place to go for a drink if you want to view the comedians in their natural habitat.
Arj Barker
The perfect comedy oasis for great comics to play and create.
