South African Comedian, Dalin Oliver, is making his Adelaide debut at Rhino Room with his multi-award winning one man show, 90 Day Comedian. It’s a coming-of-age story for Dalin, drawing on his experiences of performing the show in seven countries and 18 cities – including Australia, Ireland, Netherlands, England, France, Spain and Germany.
Oliver offers a fresh perspective on life. He explores themes of identity and cultural politics, offering a heartfelt and humorous reflection on what it means to be South African in a world that is often unfamiliar with his homeland’s rich diversity and history.
The former high school teacher’s sharp wit and undeniable charm captivates audiences, leaving them wanting more, as he celebrates the unique qualities that connect and distinguish us across borders.
His comedic talents have earned him prestigious accolades, including a FRINGE WORLD Best Weekly Comedy Show Award (Perth, Australia, 2024) and a Bronze Standard Bank Ovation Award (National Arts Festival, Makhanda, South Africa, 2024).
See you at the show, mate!

Don’t miss Azeem Banatwalla live in the home of Adelaide Comedy, Rhino Room on April 6th.

After a decade attempting to speak truth to power in India, Azeem Banatwalla has lost all his friends. He’s really just doing this show to find actual humans to talk to, because the alternative is staring at a phone screen. With everyone his age raising kids or battling depression, Azeem’s only social interactions are with Gen-Z kids on the internet who call him ‘washed’, ‘cooked’ and other household chores. Worryingly, he has learnt what a ‘griddy’ is. Unfortunately, after this show, so will you. ‘Generational’ is a show about our relationship with our friends and our phones, and how excessive connectedness has, in fact, created the loneliest generation in history.

Azeem Banatwalla is one of India’s most critically acclaimed stand-up comedians, with 4 stand-up specials (two on Amazon Prime Video) and tens of millions of views on his YouTube videos. Known for his keen observational humour, sharp writing and satire, he enjoyed a terrific debut run at MICF in 2024, with 10 sold out shows. This year he’s back to add to that tally.

Azeem also hosts India’s most popular football and F1 podcasts – 44Two and The Sidepod.

Noronha grew up in a conservative catholic family in the suburbs of Mumbai, India.

Ian Bagg a world-touring comedian whose comedy was recently described as “dangerously flawless” is coming to Adelaide’s Rhino Room May 12th.

Life has been fantastic for this energetic and wildly funny boundary-pushing entertainer. Touring nonstop across North America, he has started taking over the world with Australia, China, and the Middle East. With Europe being one of his latest stops.

He placed in the finals of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” He made appearances on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and “The Tonight Show,” A popular guest on WTF, YMH,a half-hour comedy featured on Comedy Central and HBO, not to mention one-hour specials on Showtime “Getting to know you” and Amazon Prime “Conversations”! It also has earned him roles in award-winning movies like MVP 2! (humble brag).

His fast-paced multi-direction show has made patrons want to see multiple shows on a weekend. The audience becomes characters in his performance as they answer questions. Most comedians have a monologue; Ian has a dialogue. Attend a show immediately and see why his high school history teacher asked Ian’s parents if there was something he should know about Ian.

Lewis Spears has been creating fake stories to trick his way on to mainstream media outlets his entire career. Don’t miss him Live at Rhino.

Lewis Spears has been creating fake stories to trick his way on to mainstream media outlets his entire career. From pretending to be the famous Australian photographer “Clive Palmer” to fool an American Broadcasting reporter into eating a raw onion on TV to posing as a victim of a digital chastity cage hack for a Vice News Report, Spears is often in the news, but rarely as Lewis.

This year, he set a bigger challenge and somehow got himself cast in a full season of Australia’s biggest reality TV Dating show. Shipped off to an island undercover as a character, Spears had to use every trick in the book to go undetected and make it to air. This show is a dark, silly and outrageous dive into the wild stories behind the headlines with the man Media Watch calls “A Serial Pest”.

Australia’s reigning champion of cheerful comedy, Kirsty Webeck, is heading back to Adelaide to share everything she needs to say about sea creatures.

“I love sea creatures; I learn a lot about them (sometimes organically but often because of some aggressive googling) and I want to let you know about them. Octopuses are out there punching fish for fun and using tools. They’re coming for our jobs, next. This is the awareness raising show the world needs this year.” — Kirsty Webeck

A regular panellist on The ABC’s Question Everything and a favourite in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Galas, Kirsty heads back to Adelaide after a massive 2024 tour which ended with the release of her second standup special on YouTube.

Join Kirsty for a solid night of laughs that will have you quoting her one liners for weeks to come.
