Lost in Translation presents: Love Actually
Your favorite Christmas movie translated badly. Lost in Translation is finally doing a Christmas movie!
The Lost in Translation crew take classic film scripts, run them through an online translator a dozen times, and then read the results live on stage in character! The final twist is every night, at least one guest star reads the script for the first time on stage. Join us on Saturday the 21st of December for Lost in Translation Actually. Our biggest ever cast on stage at the same time and no one’s read the script before.
To get the most enjoyment, we highly recommend you watch the film beforehand.
Love Actually will not be performed during Lost in Translation’s 2025 Adelaide Fringe run.
Hammo’s 25th Anniversary Comedy Special.
Justin Hamilton is kicking off Adelaide Comedy’s 25th anniversary by filming a night of his award winning stand up supported by Bec Hill & Jazz King. Recording two stand-up shows at the Rhino Room Jan 10th.
First up will be his award-winning show “Little Victories” that was described by the Barefoot Review as “…a cyclone of beautifully crafted, hysterically funny anecdotes and observations…”
Then in the second half Hammo will perform “Stuff and Nonsense”, a collection of stories cultivated from his 30-year career ranging from his comedy duo The Bunta Boys in the 90s, his heyday of being a part of the Melbourne Comedy scene, and his life now in Sydney.
You can catch both shows early in the new year at the Rhino Room on the 10th of January. Doors open at 7pm.

Melanie Bracewell – A Little Treat (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Bad day? Time for a little treat. Good day? I think that deserves a little treat.
With the end of her twenties rapidly approaching, Melanie Bracewell unpacks the last decade of her life. As seen on The Cheap Seats, Taskmaster (NZ), Have You Been Paying Attention and Thank God You’re Here, you don’t want to miss Bracewell’s latest offering. Go on, you’ve earned it.

25th Year of the Rhino Room Late Show
Cameron James – ‘Broken Records’
MICF Best Show Nominee, SCF Director’s Choice Winner, and Bad Boy of Musical Comedy* (*self proclaimed), Cameron James is back with his biggest rock n roll show yet.
Join Cam as he digs through the record crate of his life, pinballing from hilariously true stories, to cutting cultural commentary, to full blown pop songs.
Broken Records is a musical comedy show about what it means to be alive right f***ing here, right f***ing now.
As seen on The Gala, Spicks & Specks, Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Bump & more.
Bron Lewis – ‘Who’s Talking?!’
Ever wanted to know what your high school teacher actually thought of you? Or whether she believed your excuses? Or what she wanted to say to the Year 8 boy who refused to leave the class? Well, you’re going to want to see this show.
Before Bron Lewis was one of Australia’s most promising new comedians, she was a high school teacher for almost a decade. It was an era where she both nurtured young hearts, encouraged kids to be brilliant, but she also made some lifelong enemies. You’ll hear more about them this show than the nerds. Bron became a teacher because she hates learning – she would rather saw off her own legs then learn a new card game. Bron raises the question: what happens when someone tries to avoid learning at all costs? They teach. Sit down, and get ready to learn.
Ray O’Leary – ‘Laughter? I Hardly Know Her!’
Ray O’Leary (Taskmaster, Have You Been Paying Attention?) pulled a man from a wrecked car and as the man lay dying, he used his last ounce of strength to ask Ray (Best Show Nominee at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival) to tell his children that he loved them. And Ray (sold out tours to Melbourne, Edinburgh and more) will get round to it but first he has to do this comedy show.
Wil Anderson – Whatchu Talkin’ ‘Bout Wil?
In 2025 Wil Anderson is bringing his completely improvised shows to comedy clubs and festivals around the country. Every night will be a completely different show, made for- and with- the people in the room only. Never to be recorded. Never to be repeated.
Witness one of the fastest comedic minds of his generation for a unique, never to be repeated Festival experience in the intimate surroundings of Adelaide’s favourite Comedy Club – Rhino Room.
BOOK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WILL SELL OUT TOO QUICKLY.
“Lightning in a bottle.” ★★★★½ The Sydney Morning Herald, 2022
“Wil Anderson is a master at finding humanity in the strangest things.” ★★★★ Time Out, 2022
Lost in Translation
Your favourite movies translated badly.
Each night, we take a different classic film script, run it through an online translator a dozen times, and then read the results live on stage in character!
The final twist is that the guest stars read the scripts on stage for the first time.
To get the most enjoyment, we recommend you watch the film beforehand.
Claire Hooper – Nothing To See Here
If a Claire Hooper falls over in the forest and nobody sees, does it make a sound?
It’s a trick question. Somebody always sees.
This is a show for anyone who’s ever tripped on something that wasn’t there, waved across the room to someone who didn’t see them, had to spend too much time in a busy airplane toilet or suffered any other small, public humiliation and kept smiling.
You’ll have seen Claire on Spicks and Specks, Have You Been Paying Attention? and pretty much every other comedy, cooking and panel show, as well as hosting the podcast I’m The Worst with Claire Hooper.
She’s also been falling over in public, physically and emotionally, for as long as she can remember.
Winner – Piece of Wood Award, Melbourne Comedy Festival 2024
Lindsay Webb “Woke Me Up Before You Go Go”
Lindsay has been performing Comedy around the globe since 1998 this will be his 16th Adelaide Fringe
Lindsay Webb is back and boy is he learning. With many years of life lived experience navigating the every expanding minefield of Social Change and Social rules can be a full on job for someone born before colour TV in Australia. Wanting to do the right thing and doing the right thing are a mile apart.
Good intention doesn’t always result in good practice
Lindsay wants to share some tips, social life hacks and highlight some of his failures. Not all of them its only a 50min show
This is a fun look at how we navigate the new space of Woke culture, especially good for People with Old Habits.
Sit back and enjoy the comedic commentary from the Woke World of Webb *may or may not be totally woke
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”.
Seen on 2024 Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, Question Everything, Spicks and Specks and co-host of Work Hates Podcast.
Directed by Tom Ballard.
Mish Wittrup: OFF WITH HER HEAD!
Mish Wittrup spent her whole life making sure everyone believed her lies. In her latest show, she’s checking in to make sure that you all still believe them and that you all still think she’s perfect.
As seen on ABC’s “Aunty Donna’s Coffee Cafe” and fresh off her Melbourne International Comedy Festival Best Newcomer nomination (2022), Mish Wittrup shares her collection of stories about being overlooked and understimulated.
★★★★ ‘An hour in Mish Wittrup’s delightful and cheerful company is an absolute joy.’ CHORTLE
★★★★★ ‘Nothing short of a triumph.’ FUNNY TONNE
