Rove McManus has had over 25 years of talk show hosting under his belt. That’s a lot of talking…as well as chatting, conversing, interviewing, chin wagging and general banging-on – so why stop now?
Only this time, it’s you the audience who get to ask the questions. Favourite guest? Worst disaster? What’s Elmo really like?
Come spend a night of stand up and stories as Rove spills the tea reliving his days behind the desk.
1hr. No Interval.
