About This Event
Irish rising star Mike Rice makes his Brisbane debut with a rapid-fire hour of darkly twisted storytelling. The Kilkenny native talks about trying psychedelics with his brother, an entanglement with a Spanish sausage dog named Nino, and many other such rotten adventures. Following a sold-out run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, appearances on Channel 4’s A Comedy Thing and as heard on his Guide To Parenting podcast with Vittorio Angelone, Mike Rice is set to win the hearts of audiences across Australia with a distinctive comedic voice that’s equal parts unfiltered, loose and dangerously charming. This event is part of Brisbane Comedy Festival. For more information, visit Brisbane Powerhouse website. Brisbane Powerhouse is Council’s centre for living art, ideas and experiences, helping to deliver a vibrant and creative city.

Convict Brisbane Walking Tour
Explore Brisbane’s colonial history on this guided tour through the city’s convict past. Beginning at the historic Windmill on Wickham Terrace and winding down to the river at Queens Wharf, the tour traces Brisbane’s transformation between 1823 and 1842 - from a remote penal outpost to an emerging free town. Hear stories of convicts and commandants, revealing how punishment, labour and authority shaped daily life. Along the way, our guides bring the settlement into focus, illuminating the social fabric and living conditions, as well as the central role of the Brisbane River in sustaining the colony. Woven throughout the tour are First Peoples’ responses to British settlement, their enduring connection to Country, and the Frontier wars that directly followed this era. Together, these intersecting stories offer a deeper understanding of how Brisbane grew from its earliest foundations into a regional centre. Tour highlights include: The Windmill, The Brisbane Crest, The Petrie Tableau, Convict-built structures and surviving remnants, Miller Park and the Commissariat Stores, Queens Wharf and, the Brisbane River.
