Mike Rice
Cruel Little Man
Irish rising star Mike Rice makes his Brisbane debut with a rapid-fire hour of darkly twisted storytelling. The Kilkenny native talks about trying psychedelics with his brother, an entanglement with a Spanish sausage dog named Nino, and many other such rotten adventures.
Following a sold-out run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, appearances on Channel 4’s A Comedy Thing and as heard on his Guide To Parenting podcast with Vittorio Angelone, Mike Rice is set to win the hearts of audiences across Australia with a distinctive comedic voice that’s equal parts unfiltered, loose and dangerously charming.
