Takashi Wakasugi in Wabi-Sabi Comedy
Winner Director’s Choice Award 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Nominee Most Outstanding Show 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival
The new show by award-winning Japanese comedian and your favourite ‘Waka’. Wabi-sabi (侘び寂び) is a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. Waka believes the concept of Wabi-sabi is the great way to make people happy. And he also thinks it might connect and adapt to his comedy. In this show you will find laughs and happiness with his Wabi-Sabi Comedy.
Arigato! Big bow.

Mickey Wilson – HOW YA GOIN? – ADELAIDE – RHINO ROOM
UNHINGED, HIGH ENERGY, LIGHTNING WIT, RAW
He’s sold up EVERYTHING packed the kids & caravan, & gone ALL IN on stand-up comedy – Delivers his unfiltered perspective of his personal stories and experiences. Turning family chaos & self-deprecation into belly-hurting laughs, wild stories, cheeky filth, and brutally honest observations.
This Darwin-born larrikin takes the p**s out of everything: himself, his looks, his kids, and the clean freak inside him. A hard-shell Aussie dad with a soft, slightly unstable centre, Mickey brings quick wit, big energy, and brutal relatability.
Whether parent, non-parent, clean freak, or filthy party animal, this show will make you laugh, cringe, and feel better about your own life choices!

ADELAYED 20TH ANNIVERSARY – MECHANISED CONVULSIONS
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the seminal debut EP Adelayed, I am hosting a night of uncompromising industrial, power electronics, abrasive synth works and harsh noise.
Leading the charge alongside the anniversary celebrations is the relentless, industrial-punk force @schkeuditzer_kreuz, bringing a devastating live assault to the stage. Joining them is a lineup of heavy hitters, featuring the dense, dark industrial landscapes of @rope_society, the raw electronic friction of @themollyfetcircuit, and the abrasive industrial tones of @restrukture. Rounding out the sonic carnage are the brutalist textures of @sansflesh and eclectic electronic selections from DJ 5K1P.
All are welcome, leave your hatred and biggotry at the door.
We celebrate this event on Kaurna Land.
