Rove McManus is one the most recognisable faces in Australian comedy.
Starting his career as a stand up, Rove went on to create one of the most successful talk shows in Australian TV history – Rove Live.
Over this more than twenty-year story Rove has never stopped headlining at clubs and festivals, writing and performing stand-up comedy. It has been a constant through more than two decades of over-achieving. His upbeat, positive stand up is a reflection of his relentless invention and curiosity – a joy bomb that fills theatres and surprises audiences when Rove jumps up in any room with a mic and a half decent PA as he moves around the country.
“McManus still has the same boyish charm, off-the-cuff humour, and ability to bounce off the audience that made him a celebrated household name.” ★★★★★ The Age, 2026
“Now this is how you perform stand-up.” ★★★★ Chortle
“Polished, well co-ordinated and funny.” The West
“Simply brilliant stuff!” Australian Stage
