Melanie Bracewell – Dilly Dallying – Work In Progress
I’ll get around to writing a proper bio for this show later but I’m in the middle of a sudoku.
Can you just put something like ‘Melanie Bracewell is back with a brand new hour about procrastination. With rave reviews and multiple awards under her belt you don’t want to miss it.’ Then maybe chuck a quote from the reviews, maybe that one from Chortle that says I’m a “phenomenal storyteller”. That would be sick, thank you!
Oh crap the 4 isn’t supposed to go there.
No, don’t put that bit in. Are you typing everything I’m saying?
Be the first to see Melanie Bracewell’s Work In Progress of her new show Dilly Dallying, Live at Rhino Room for just $20 to kick off Adelaide Comedy‘s Festival Season!
Wil Anderson – Whatchu Talkin’ ‘Bout Wil?

“A back-to-basics gem, stand-up in its most ephemeral and pure form.” The Saturday Paper, 2025
Rhino Room Late Show 26
The longest running show at the Adelaide Fringe is back for its 26th year in 2026, the legendary Rhino Room Late Show.
Featuring 100+ different comedians from across the festival over 10 shows. A brand new, hand picked lineup every Friday and Saturday of Fringe, 10pm to midnight.
It’s the home grown gala featuring the funniest of the Fringe in full flight. You never know who you might see live on stage or at the bar and we will never tell, until we are there. This one rule has given the Rhino Room Late Show its not-so-secret identity as a hotspot for the best in the biz to come and play alongside the hilarious stars of tomorrow in the home of Adelaide Comedy.
A show that has always been for Adelaide Fringe fans & artists alike! Subscribe at AdelaideComedy.com
ANISA NANDAULA – NO SMALL TALK
Anisa Nandaula (Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen) dives headfirst into the chaos of her life – nearly getting into a fight, feuding with her next-door neighbour, and surviving her old workplace drama. Then, after a decade away, she returns to Africa and brings back a suitcase full of hilarious, unforgettable stories. No filters, no small talk – just big laughs.

“Anisa is a must-see!” Chelsea Handler
“Put her in front of any crowd and she’d be at home…She’s one to watch, for sure.” Chortle
“She’s unstoppable, playing out scenarios with a bombastic side-eye and confident strut. If you’re seeking a comedic act that will keep you at ease, Nandaula should be your pick.” The Age
