After playing to sold-out crowds with his award-winning show WILLING PARTICIPANT, Logie-winner Rob Carlton returns to Canberra with his brand-new hour, VIRGIN IN A KNIFE FIGHT.
Armed with nothing but charm, timing and a knack for getting himself into trouble, Rob delivers four true stories that swing from hilarious to heartfelt. It all begins on the backstreets of Salzburg, where 18-year-old Rob finds himself in a three-person knife fight — despite never having used his travel knife on anything tougher than cheese. From there, the stories spiral through university misadventure, an absurd courtroom showdown on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, and a moving moment of fatherhood and friendship that hits straight in the heart.
With the same warmth, wit and impeccable storytelling that earned him multiple Fringe awards, Rob turns chaos into comedy and confession into connection. Virgin in a Knife Fight is proof that life’s best stories come when we’re both the hero and the idiot — and sometimes, both at once.
Heartfelt. Hilarious. Utterly unmissable.
