After a big show at Coffs Jetty Theatre last year with Willing Participant, Logie-winning actor and award-winning storyteller Rob Carlton returns with his brand-new show – Virgin in a Knife Fight — four true tales of chaos, charm and accidental heroism.
It begins with 18-year-old Rob on the backstreets of Salzburg in a three-person knife fight — despite never having used his travel knife on anything tougher than cheese. From there, the stories tumble through university misadventure, courtroom mayhem on Sydney's Northern Beaches, and a moving moment of fatherhood and friendship that lands straight in the heart.
Winner of multiple theatre awards at Perth, Adelaide and Newcastle Fringes, Rob brings the same mix of sharp comedy, emotional truth and masterful timing that made his previous show such a hit.
Known from The White Lotus, Boy Swallows Universe, North Shore and Paper Giants, Rob Carlton turns real life into theatre — hilarious, heartfelt, and human.
