SOLD OUT. 🔥Thanks Sydney! 👏 See you on the 29th 🥰🎉

Internationally renowned comedian Sam McCool @sammccool returns to @rhinoroomsa 30th May with his brand-new stand-up comedy special: “McCool 5.0″ — a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud journey through life, death, and everything in between. 🎟️ at AdelaideComedy.com A finalist on Australia’s Got Talent, and creator of 3 world-first initiatives, he sold out solo shows at the Sydney Opera House and entertained approximately one million people worldwide, performing in over 20 countries. After ‘quitting his day job’ at 35, comedy has since taken him to the 4 corners of the Earth. From Greenland to South Africa, from Quebec to Rio de Janeiro, from Bombay to Bora Bora. Along the way he has had countless unique experiences from swimming with humpback whales in Tonga, climbing the Great Pyramid of Egypt at midnight, and surviving empty air tanks while scuba diving in Bali. This show will share such stories and much more. Now turning 50, in the last decade he has gained 3 children, lost 2 parents and had only 1 career choice… to get back out on stage and make people laugh about life while ageing gratefully. Blending his skills of accurate cultural observations, lighting fast audience interaction and a self-effacing charm this show brings the philosophical depth and human hilarity of a life well lived. Trusted by global brands like Amazon, Dell, IBM, Qantas, and TEDx, and praised with comments like “truly entertaining, truly funny, truly engaging” and even “the funniest comedian I have ever seen,” Sam has built a reputation as one of the most dynamic comedians on the international circuit. From corporate events, to cruise ships to comedy festivals, this show brings world-class stand-up with an Australian edge and global appeal. If you like your comedy smart, fast, and provocative — this is your show.

Well the 1st version of my new show "McCool 5.0" at The Comedy Store Sydney is about to sell out! Thanks to all that have booked so far. It should be a fun night. And please allow extra time to join the after-party at a nearby location... See you then. /tix #comedy #standupcomedy #sydney #sammccool

An unusual Mother's Day message... #mothersday #mums #gifts #laughter

Hey BRISBANE... exciting news! You asked... so I took action. I've added a #brisbane show to the McCool 5.0 National Tour! A perfect little venue was recommended to me, and it was available on my ideal date - Friday 17 July 2026. So now it's game on! Despite so many visits to Brisbane over the years for corporate events and to join cruise ships, this will be my 1st public show here in many years. So I'd love to see you all at my new live show. It's an intimate venue - so it may sell out fairly quickly, so jump on now and lock in a seat. Info: /tix/ - Early Bird pricing for 1st 20 tix. #brisbaneevents #brisbanecomedy #comedy #standupcomedy #sammccool #McCool

So excited to be putting on my 1st solo comedy show in #adelaide in over a decade. Last time I was at the #regaltheatre during the @adelaidefringe Let me share a quick anecdote, which stuck with me... I was sharing the venue with Jimeoin, as we had the same agent back then. My show was 1 hour before his. So I finally got to meet 1 of my comedy heroes in the green room backstage. I awkwardly admitted I'd been impersonating him for years. He asked me to show him... so I did. He told me there are only 2 people in the world who can impersonate him... Eric Bana, and now you! Looking forward to my long-overdue return on Sat 30th May @ the equally famous home of @adelaidecomedy at the @rhinoroomsa For tickets: /mccool-50-adelaide Tour info: /tix

Showing some American friends a little known secret Sydney hotpsot... sort of. #travel #comedy #sydney #sammccool

I love what I do! Especially after a fantastic night on Discovery Princess with 2 late night comedy shows, which were literally packed to the rafters. By show time there must have been 100+ people without seats, standing at the bar and surrounds, creating an electric atmosphere. My last show was 1 hour of unrestricted stand up comedy with scripted jokes, free flow improv and audience interaction. Glad to be back on the cruise scene. #comedy #comedian #cruises
