A dark, heartfelt comedy about dodging dementia and childhood shadows. Phil has a rare sleep condition with non-stop nighttime movement, where slumber includes driving cars and making sandwiches while still completely asleep.

Phil De Bondi is an emerging force on the Australian comedy circuit, known for his masterful storytelling and bone-dry, self-deprecating wit. A health professional by day and a storyteller by night, Phil specialises in spinning vulnerable, raw life experiences into compelling dark comedy. His debut solo show, The Man Who Never Sleeps, premiered to rave reviews at the Adelaide Fringe before touring to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, cementing his reputation as a comedian who isn’t afraid to find the deep laughs in life’s heaviest, most absurd realities.

‘Where other comedians stray too dark, Phil is always able to pull the audience back with a lemons-to-lemonade charm’ Jacob Jackman – Upside Adelaide.

Hosted by well-known local superstar Nona Mona and supported by up-and-coming Fresh FM radio host Chelsea Finlayson! All profits are being donated to the Sammy D Foundation, so why not come along, have a laugh, and support a local charity tackling youth violence?

Akwasi Osei-Tutu Life Through a Black Eye

Sep 26, 2026
- Sep 26, 2026
6:30 pm
6:00 pm ( Doors Open Time: )
The Howling Owl

Life Through a Black Eye is stand-up from a Ghanaian man living in Australia who’s spent enough time on the outside to notice that the inside is absolutely unhinged. With sharp storytelling, beautifully bad decisions and a perspective that’s both observant and gloriously inappropriate, Akwasi takes everyday life, race, culture, relationships and the weird little rules of modern society, then looks at them from an angle most people wouldn’t even think to stand in. Smart, silly and just the right amount of dangerous, Life Through a Black Eye is a night of big laughs, wild detours and the kind of comedy that makes you think, “He probably shouldn’t say that” right before you laugh anyway.
