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 ★★★★

ANISA NANDAULA – NO SMALL TALK
Anisa Nandaula (Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen) dives headfirst into the chaos of her life – nearly getting into a fight, feuding with her next-door neighbour, and surviving her old workplace drama. Then, after a decade away, she returns to Africa and brings back a suitcase full of hilarious, unforgettable stories. No filters, no small talk – just big laughs.
Nominee Best Newcomer 2025 Melbourne Comedy Festival
“Anisa is a must-see!” Chelsea Handler
“Put her in front of any crowd and she’d be at home…She’s one to watch, for sure.” Chortle
“She’s unstoppable, playing out scenarios with a bombastic side-eye and confident strut. If you’re seeking a comedic act that will keep you at ease, Nandaula should be your pick.” The Age
GUY WILLIAMS – RICH PEOPLE ARE STEALING FROM YOU!
Rich People Are Stealing From You And Blaming Brown People And Trans People And Some People Believe Them Aaahhhhhh!
Probably shouldn’t have given it all away in the title. Like most people I’ve been trying to figure out how the worst d*ckheads have taken over everything with their insane bullsh*t. So I’ve read three books (mostly) (one was a graphic novel) and listened to five audio books (AT NORMAL SPEED) to try and figure out WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON?

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.
TOM CASHMAN – NPC (NEARLY PROFICIENT COMEDIAN)
Tom Cashman is back in Adelaide with a new hour of stand-up that promises to creep ever so close to proficiency. You may know Tom from Taskmaster or TikTok or from his show descriptions which usually end very abru
“★★★★★… a fast-paced, sharp, hilarious hour… like a good fever dream” The Age
Bron Lewis – CHAOS
Bron Lewis’ life is complete and utter chaos, just ask her dog trainer. She has three kids – an emotional tweenager, a four-year old stalker and a middle one, and just when things couldn’t get any harder, she bought a puppy. A glutton for punishment, Bron has welcomed the flourishing of her comedy career, which means she has a million plates in the air and even more smashed on the ground around her feet.
Bron, an ex-high-school teacher, wears the battle scars of an undervalued profession and is still reeling from the initial shock of motherhood 12 years ago. Come bask in her humiliating attempts to juggle – parenting, teaching, a career change and flailing mental health. If you’ve ever thought ‘If one thing goes wrong, we’re all dead meat’ then this is the comedy show for you!
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
