Laugh Lab Open Mics – Monday Nights at Rhino Room
Adelaide’s premier open mic comedy night! Watch a mix of established and new comedians trying out new material at the Laugh Lab! Each week we hand-pick some of the best local comedians, with open mic spots drawn on the night. With new material and fresh faces, you’re guaranteed to see something new each week! Doors/open mic sign-up 7pm, 7.30pm start.
Akmal – My Family and Other Criminals
Akmal returns to share stories and thoughts about people who affected his life. Like his uncle, who pretended to be a doctor for many years by skipping medical school and simply buying a stethoscope and a white coat. Or his Coptic priest (who he confessed all his sins to), who was also the local exorcist – and was ironically found to have several demons inside him. Or his millionaire uncle who, during a visit to the Salehs, gave himself an enema using the family garden hose (we never drank out of that hose again).
In My Family and Other Criminals, you will meet these lovable but crazy characters and much more.
“Akmal’s comedic prowess shines brightly throughout the show. It will leave you both entertained and enlightened, with a newfound appreciation for the absurdities of life” — Arts Hub
“His playful banter had everyone in stitches, and his ability to circle back to earlier jokes with perfectly timed callbacks showcased his impressive comedic agility.” — Fringefeed
Nazeem Hussain – I’d like to tell you about some Jokes
Fresh off his biggest-selling tour ever across Australia, New Zealand and London, Nazeem Hussain returns with a brand-new show, I’d like to tell you about some Jokes – wild stories, unhinged characters and still no sign of a filter.
“A mixture of belly laughs and tension, the Australian comedian…artfully demands more from his audience – and the result is exceptional.” NZ Herald

Ray O’Leary – I Can See O’Leary Now The Ray Has Gone
When Ray O’Leary (Taskmaster NZ, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Best Show nominee Melbourne Comedy Festival) was born, winter changed to spring, a new star appeared in the heavens, and a double rainbow spontaneously appeared. With this auspicious start, it is no wonder he became leader of North Korea in 1994 until his untimely death in 2011. Despite this minor setback, he found time to bring you a whole new show.
“A very strong comic indeed” **** Chortle
“A jokesmith of the highest order” **** The Skinny
“He twitches and moves nervously” ***** Starburst Magazine
Khaled Khalafalla – The It’ll Be Funnier Tomorrow Tour
Khaled Khalafalla has performed stand-up everywhere from the Middle East to the New York Comedy Festival, and toured nationally with Mo Amer. You’ve also seen him on Utopia, Ali’s Wedding and Upper Middle Bogan.
The show evolves every 4–5 weeks, with new material written in response to the moment. If you’ve seen Khaled in Adelaide before- this’ll be a new show!
With every performance, Khaled has built a following of people who’ve left his shows laughing, gasping, and finally seeing their own unspoken thoughts in the stories woven on stage.
If you think about identity, or your place in the world- this will be a show that puts words to what you’ve felt but never articulated. It’s honest, clean, and hilarious.
And it’ll be even funnier tomorrow.
‘One of comedy’s hottest talents, a must see. ★★★★’ The West Australian
‘Khalafalla is raw and witty, leaves the audiences in stitches… one not to miss. ★★★★’ The Music
‘Bursts onto the stage with confidence and enthusiasm and has the audience in stitches from the get go. ★★★★’ Herald Sun
‘This guy can do no wrong. Everything he touches turns to gold. He’s taking steps forward every day and it’d be a crying shame if you missed him in action.’ The AU Review

Adelaide, get ready for an evening of wit, warmth and razor-sharp observation as Kanan Gill brings his brand new show – Not this again to the Space Theatre this July.
Blending clever insights with effortless charm, Gill explores life’s absurdities, the chaos of growing up and the fine art of laughing at yourself. His comedy is intelligent yet accessible, honest yet playful, inviting audiences to laugh, reflect and recognise themselves in every story.
Since rising to prominence with Pretentious Movie Reviews, Gill has toured internationally, starred in Keep It Real on Amazon Prime Video, judged Comicstaan and performed more than a thousand live shows worldwide. With a voice that has helped redefine Indian stand-up comedy, he brings heart and humour together like few others can.
Don’t miss this unforgettable night of comedy at Space Theatre, one night only.

Anthony Locascio – The Divine Comedy
World Tour. Sold-out Enmore Theatre. Dream wedding on the horizon.
2025 was set to be the best year of Anthony Locascio’s life – then everything fell apart.
With his heart in ruins, desperation (and destiny) pushed him into a Vipassana meditation retreat. The Divine Comedy is the story of ten gruelling days of silence, where Anthony journeyed to the depth of his mind and battled the hive of evil clowns behind his lifelong misery, and somehow returned with his soul intact.
“Healing from trauma is hard for anyone, but to create an entire show where the audience laughs along with you takes a special kind of bravery.” ★★★★★ 27 magazine
“So tightly and cleverly constructed; everything suddenly clicks together” Praise Dionysus!

LUKE & WYATT- Sibling Rivalry Tour- Live In Adelaide
Catch the wild antics of Luke and Wyatt as they battle it out live on the Sibling Rivalry Tour!
Social Media Sensations and Biological Brothers Wyatt Feegrado and Luke Abranches headline Adelaide for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
WYATT FEEGRADO
Pronounced: Wy-Yaht Fi-Gray-Doe
Wyatt Feegrado is one of the top comics of the digital era, known for his razor-sharp one-liners and signature hard cut delivery that has generated over a billion views across platforms. He started stand-up at 16 in San Francisco and has since grown into a nationally and internationally touring comedian, building a powerful presence both online and on stage. His one liner style blends heavy punchlines and a mischievous perspective that consistently cuts through noise.
In 2026, Wyatt released his stand-up special The Devil You Know, a project that sparked both controversy and widespread respect throughout the comedy community, further cementing his reputation as a bold and uncompromising voice. He co-hosts the Gen Zenophobic podcast with his brother Luke Abranches, where their chemistry and unfiltered takes continue to drive a rapidly growing audience. He currently resides in New York with his cat Mango and is touring worldwide.
LUKE ABRANCHES
Luke Abranches has held the distinction of America’s Youngest Touring Comic since 2021, when he began touring his stand-up at just 12 years old. This is not a novelty title. He has developed into a performer whose command, perspective, and consistency rival comics at any level of the industry. Now 17, Luke blends sharp observational humor, philosophical depth, and flashes of pure teenage chaos into a style that feels both fully formed and constantly evolving. He also hosts the Gen Zenophobic podcast alongside his brother Wyatt, building a fast-growing audience through a mix of humour, culture, and unfiltered perspective.
Touring nationally, Luke became the youngest comic to perform at the Netflix Is a Joke Festival and the iconic Gramercy Theatre and is an alum of San Francisco Sketchfest and The Improv Comedy Club circuit. He has shared the stage with Kumail Nanjiani, Jeff Arcuri, Nimesh Patel, Sammy Obeid, and Maz Jobrani, consistently proving he belongs in that company. With a rare ability to shift from thoughtful to absurd in seconds, Luke Abranches is not just ahead of his age, he is becoming a defining voice of his generation.

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.
