THE SHOW!
At long last, I’m unveiling my meticulously researched, scientifically flawless, and definitely-not-panic-induced prediction for how the world will end. If you disagree, congratulations – you’re part of the problem. Enjoy your echo chamber while the rest of us prepare for the grand finale.
Join me as I break down the political incompetence, corporate buffoonery, and garden-variety stupidity that will bring civilisation to a face-planting halt. It’s satire, it’s prophecy, and it’s disturbingly plausible.

Vittorio Angelone: you can’t Say Nothing any more – Sold Out.
Vittorio Angelone has always denied any involvement in stand up comedy or stand up comedy related activities.
Do You Know Who I Am? By Daniel Fernandes
Do You Know Who I Am? is a smart, funny, and unexpectedly uplifting stand-up show about family, identity, and the emotional baggage we all carry.
In this show, Daniel Fernandes blends sharp observations with personal storytelling to explore life’s winding roads, the things we inherit from our parents, the patterns we repeat without noticing, and the quiet ways we grow up over time.
It’s comedy that’s thoughtful without being heavy, dark without being bleak, and honest without ever losing its humour.
Whether you come for the laughs or the perspective, this is a show that stays with you long after the lights come up.
Accessible, intelligent, and deeply relatable makes for a comedy experience you do not want to miss.
Lewis Spears – Spears in the City
Now in his 30s, Lewis takes a brutally honest and hilarious look at what it means to grow up, become a man and try to figure life out in an increasingly confusing and often painful world.
Adam Kay – Twas The NightShift Before Christmas
Britain’s twelfth-favourite doctor and author of smash hit This is Going to Hurt returns to Australia and New Zealand with his brand-new live show.
Featuring entries from his bestselling festive diaries alongside all-new stand-up and Christmas songs, the show is a love letter to all those who spend the most wonderful time of the year removing babies and baubles (and chocolate wrappers, remote controls, and fairy lights) from the various places they get stuck. A hilarious pre-Christmas night out.
‘Funny, disgusting and moving tales with a festive twist.’ The Guardian
‘A sleigh-load of ho-ho-horror stories for long-suffering healthcare staff.’ Daily Express

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.
