“You probably already know me from reading the news. In 2018, I dressed up as a sewing needle and hid inside a strawberry.
There should be a French word for the moment you realize a bald dude actually has a ponytail.
I'm so used to failure that success represents an existential threat.”
The cracked prince of Australian alt-comedy returns to the Comedy Store with his best hour of jokes! Combining the best bits from his 2025 SCF Best of the Fest award-winning hour ‘Tropical Depression’, and his 2026 show ‘Help Me Please’, this special event will be filmed as part of Dan Rath’s upcoming comedy special.
