Welcome to
Coming Soon To Rhino Room
Maren May – Why haven’t you listened to that song I sent you?
Maren loves sending songs she likes to her friends and lovers but she is starting to think that maybe they don’t always listen to them? So she wrote a show about that.
This show is a love letter to music through a neurodivergent lens but you can view it through any kind of glasses, or none at all, it will still be enjoyable.
If you ever listened to the same song on repeat for hours on end, and didn’t even exaggerate when you say ‘hours on end’, this is for you.

Connor Burns – GALLUS
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.

Alfred Adriaan – Positive Strokes
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.
Tom Sainsbury – Lessons Not Learnt
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.
BRETT BLAKE – LITTLE TURD
What happened next surprised him, his parents, his lawyers, the neighbours and even the judge.
This is your last chance to find out what everyone has been raving about! Do not miss out.
