VIRGIN IN A KNIFE FIGHT

The winner of Best Theatre Show at FRINGE WORLD 2025 (WILLING PARTICIPANT) is back!

Logie-winner Rob Carlton (WHITE LOTUS, BOY SWALLOWS UNIVERSE, NORTH SHORE) returns with VIRGIN IN A KNIFE FIGHT — and other stories of being ‘underprepared’. From a Salzburg knife fight, to a bizarre courtroom farce and a humbling moment of fatherly pride, Rob mines chaos for comedy and drama. Equal parts theatre and stand-up, this is storytelling at its best: proving you can be both the hero and the idiot in the same story — at just about the same time! Big Laughs, Little Dignity, Loads of Heart!

"A brilliant performer on top of his game" ★★★★★ Perth Happenings, 2025 

"Each story was pure joy…. magnetic in his delivery" ★★★★★ Stage Whispers, 2025
