Fresh from sold-out seasons across Melbourne and Sydney, stand-up comic and stonemason Rohan Arneil is bringing his acclaimed new show The Never-Ending Smoko to Newcastle Comedy Club in June.
Rohan’s got the resumé of a man who’s lived a thousand lives — garbo, tradie, writer, podcaster, and now full-time funnyman.
His latest set taps into the spirit of every Aussie who’s dreamed of escaping the 9-to-5 grind, even if it’s just for a cheeky dart on a milk crate in the sun.
From tales of burning through his savings with a kitchen fire (that only scorched his pride), to dodging jackhammers and fantasising about a Bali smoko from a time before the Perth tourists rolled in, Rohan delivers punchlines powered by real-life mishaps, TAFE qualifications, and short-term loans with dangerously high interest rates.
The Never-Ending Smoko has already built cult status at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival and was even featured on the wildly popular Alpha Blokes podcast.
Fans will recognise Rohan from viral TikToks, The Mugg Off podcast, and his recurring gigs at the Sydney Comedy Store — but nothing beats catching him live.
If you’ve ever worked a Saturday, taken out a payday loan, or just really love a decadent sweet treat, his return to Newcastle is your next unmissable night out.
Rohan Arneil’s show The Never-Ending Smoko will hit the Newcastle Comedy Club on 13 June 2025. The show kicks off at 6pm and promises a solid hour of blue-collar laughs, ego burns, and high-vis observations. Grab your tickets from eventbrite.com.au.
