Rob Newman doesn’t waste time. He started stand-up at 60 and brings raw, unfiltered comedy that destroys fear and lights a fire under your complacent arse. This isn’t safe, sanitized comedy. It’s a wake-up call from someone who knows time is precious and bullshit worrying is pointless. Newman delivers hard-earned wisdom wrapped in relentless humor that transforms how you think about living while there’s still time. No medical symposium or pity party – just authentic comedy that finds the punchlines in life’s biggest challenges. His unique perspective creates a show that’s simultaneously hilarious and genuinely life-changing. “Book now,” Newman warns with a wry smile. “I may not make it to the second night. No refunds.” Limited season. Don’t die wondering.

ARSELESS CHAPS – Damian Cowell & Tony Martin

Rhino Room

It’s a TISM front man and comedy icon’s electro-banger duo. In the grand tradition of Groove Armada, Daft Punk, The Presets and Barlow and Chambers, Damian Cowell, the guy who pretends to be the singer of TISM and comedy royalty Tony Martin, knob twiddle their way into your nervous system. They bumped into each other in Damian Cowell’s Disco Machine and Tony Martin’s Sizzletown and now the world’s oldest ravers are colliding in a full-on electroclash.

What can you expect from brains that gave you TISM, The Late Show, Martin Molloy and Get This?

Beatz with a ‘Z’ plus reprehensibly flippant lyrics about life’s terrors.

Cowell and Martin sing, dance, do that widdly thing on their cheap synths and embody the ancient philosophy of Fosagawi.

Make sure you’re sorted for Es, Wizz and Metamucil.

In the 132 Days, Maybelline Slept with 23 Men, Ate 3 Plan B’s, got Heartbroken by a J-Named Man & Kissed A Girl. Deducting menstruation days and counting the 96 “Active”, for lack of a better word, “f*ckable” days where she could sleep with someone (Per data collected by period tracking app ‘Flo’).

Then every day there was a 51% chance of sex, with a 47.9% chance of sleeping with someone new.

Statistically, Maybelline is a Slut. And this is a raunchy comedy cabaret about those “f*ckable” days.

Alex Ward – Literally Anyone
Tue, Feb 24, 2026

- 8:45 pm
Rhino Room Hell's Kitchen

Alex had an awkward weekend in a painfully generic Airbnb, and she’ll probably tell you about it. How generic? Well, it had the black-and-white koala print – legally, it has to.

She’s in her mid-30s and making major life decisions (like figuring out which part of MJ’s discography is still okay to listen to). Lately, Alex has been unpacking questions* about identity and what it means to play a role that doesn’t quite fit. The only role she truly nails is an act-out she does to trick her dog into taking his medicine.

*The questions: How do we trust ourselves? How do we trust that we will become the person we want to be? And most importantly, how do we trust the people who write Google reviews? …they could be literally anyone.

“A solid, unshowy hour of relatable stand-up” Chortle

This story starts on Friday December 13 2024 at 5:37PM. I only know that because that´s what the police report says… 

While playing catch with his wife in a local park, comedian Rowan Thambar witnesses a moderate crime. The following stand up show documents what happened next…

This show is for people who love high-stakes awkward situations, true-crime, doing the right thing and early 2000s hitmaker Fatman Scoop. This is not a show for career coaches, snitches and people who don´t pick up after their dog.

Praise for ‘Sorry For The Late Reply’
“Excellent” The Age
“His tales of working behind the scenes at The Project are engrossing, as are his quips about modern-day friendship, immigration and tales of visiting Sri Lanka” The Age
