Who Dan Rath is
Dan Rath is an Australian stand-up comedian whose breakout solo hour, Tropical Depression, won Best of the Fest at the Sydney Comedy Festival and shared the Directors' Choice award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2025, the year he was named a New Face of Comedy at Just for Laughs in Montreal.
He had already won the Melbourne festival's Piece of Wood award in 2023 for All Quiet Carriage Along the Inner Western Line, after a Best Newcomer nomination there in 2019 for Bubble Bath, and his 2024 Edinburgh Fringe show Pariah Carey was long-listed for Best Show at the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards. His special I'm Not Doing Well Folks came out through 800 Pound Gorilla in 2024, and he co-hosts the podcast Neurotic News with Damien Power.
