Presented by: David Rose

David Rose has been performing stand-up since 2013 and has toured Australia, Asia and North America. He has appeared at some of the most prestigious clubs in the world, including Caroline's and Gotham in New York City, and the Chicago Laugh Factory.

David has written and presented two feature documentaries for ABC Radio National and was a freelance writer and presenter for ABC's Tonightly. Since then, he's written comedy for The Chaser and ABC Online, and has begun work on his first novel about a man struggling to write an Adelaide Fringe bio.

David has opened for some of the world's best comedians, including Akmal, Vir Das, and Jim Gaffigan, kind of (they were on the same show in NYC).

This is David's first show at the Adelaide Fringe. Please don't make him regret it - buy a ticket!

David has hearing loss and encourages you to laugh way louder than normal so that he can hear it (and also so other people at the Fringe think that he's way more accomplished than he actually is.)

    [W]ell-polished and (more importantly) funny. Progress very quickly to The Squeaker in Gluttony to see this very talented and funny jerk. - Brian Godfrey, Glam Adelaide
