GALLUS is Connor Burn’s fourth solo hour. A prolific joke writer who’s lightning fast, razor- sharp wit combines with his signature single malt Scottish-level cynicism to help create the perfect storm of brilliant jokes performed by a disarming comedy powerhouse and, now more recently, has seen Connor become a social media star.
Connor’s previous smash-hit show “1994” sold 10,000+ tickets in Edinburgh, sold out 2 solo Glasgow King’s Theatre dates and toured worldwide (including 50+ UK shows, 35+ in Australia, 15 shows across Europe and included an off-Broadway run as part of 2024’s New York Comedy Festival). Winner of the prestigious international Fringe Encore Series in both 2025 and 2024, Connor has supported Daniel Sloss in 3 continents and filmed his debut special “Vertigo”, for world-wide release on the prestigious 800LB Gorilla comedy label.

This South African comedy sensation, known for selling out shows across Mzansi and beyond, is returning to Australia to tickle your funny bone with his unique take on life.
In “Positive Strokes,” Alfred dives headfirst into the wonderful, bewildering world of fatherhood, contrasting his own parenting style with the hilarious differences he observed from his own folks. He’ll take you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, exploring his childhood and the wild dynamics of growing up with his family, cousins, and siblings.
You’ve heard the buzz! Critics have raved about Alfred’s “unapologetically hilarious” (IOL) performances and “sharp wit” (The Citizen). He’s been praised for his “relatable comedy that hits home” (Cape Town Magazine), proving why he’s a comedic force to be reckoned with.
After a sell-out 2024 tour (and several life wisedoms still not absorbed), comedy chameleon Tom Sainsbury is back with his brand-new show!
After a sell-out 2024 Australian tour (and several life wisedoms still not absorbed), comedy chameleon Tom Sainsbury is back with his brand-new live show Lessons Not Learnt.
You’ll know Tom from New Zealand Taskmaster, Wellington Paranormal and his weirdly accurate social-media sketches – the ones that make you go, “Oh no… that’s me.” Whether he’s being a nosy neighbour, an overbearing boss or one of his iconic 80s mums, Tom dives headfirst into the gloriously awkward bits of everyday life.
Expect dodgy decisions, small-town scandals, misguided confidence and a few emotional breakthroughs (maybe). It’s part stand-up, part therapy session, and part fever dream of all the things Tom should have learnt by now.
So grab your mates, your mum, or that friend who never learns from their mistakes, and prepare for a night of laughter, nostalgia and light self-loathing – in the best possible way.

Hosted and supported by some of Adelaide’s favourite Comedians 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.
