Hosted by Big Al and supported by Chelsea Finlayson, Issac Heyne and Jason Pestell. Don’t miss the hilarious Eddie Ifft as he returns to Rhino Room.
After decades on the road, surfing, skiing, raising kids, nearly dying a few times, and saying things most people only think, Eddie Ifft is still chasing one more run.
A veteran of the Joe Rogan Experience, Comedy Central, and the #1 stand-up special on Amazon Prime, Eddie brings his signature fearless comedy to Australia with shrEDDiE: One More Run. It’s a brutally honest, laugh-packed hour about getting older without growing up, surviving marriage and parenting, health obsessions, bad decisions, and why the world seems to be getting crazier every year.
Smart, raw, and hilariously unpredictable, Eddie’s shows are famous for big laughs, wild stories, and the kind of crowd interaction that makes every night different.
If you like your comedy honest, a little dangerous, and very funny, this is your show.
