Prepared a la grandma, the Sunday Roast is the perfect finish to the festival. Sit back and enjoy your roast dinner with all the trimmings and have a laugh or two with Australian father of live comedy, Rod Quantock. No subject is out of reach as Rod gives his own take on topics from across the program, from the accountability of politicians to what is wrong with ideas festivals.

From Farm to Festival

Rod Quantock
Rod Quantock is one of the reasons that Melbourne is the live comedy capital of Australia. As a pioneer of stand up comedy, Rod has more than thirty years’ experience working in cabaret, theatre, television, radio, advertising and the corporate sector. For an old boy, Rod is still doing extremely well, thank you very much. His live shows are predictably box office hits at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and the Adelaide Fringe Festival and he is an evergreen favourite at corporate events.

For thirty years, Rod has remained a contemporary stand up comedian, evolving and staying at the forefront of the craft. His contribution to Australian cultural life was rewarded when he received the Individual Award at the 2004 Sidney Myer Performing Arts Awards.  That he continues to build new, younger audiences all the time is testament to possibly the most impressive career in Australian comedy.
