Dan Rath: Failure Laboratory - Sydney
Overview
Welcome to the failure laboratory.
Dan Rath has enough parking ticket debt to cripple a small European country and he has watched his car get cubed by the government. He has been disrespected by his colleagues and is bruised and battered with nothing to lose. His low status means he has heightened cortisol production and is not equipped to take a gentle ribbing. He has a diverse set of interests including prime numbers.
Dan is a multi-award-winning comedian with his show 'Tropical Depression' winning Best of the Fest at Sydney Comedy Festival (2025) and the Director's Choice Award at Melbourne International Comedy Festival (2025). Dan's solo hour 'All Quiet Carriage Along the Inner West Line' won the 2023 Piece of Wood Award - MICF for best show as voted by a committee of fellow comedians and past winners, and he earned the 2019 nomination for Best Newcomer - MICF for his debut hour 'Bubble Bath'.
In March 2024, Dan's special 'I'm Not Doing Well Folks' was released by 800 Pound Gorilla and has amassed over 100k views on YouTube to date.
He is the co-host of cult-hit comedy podcast 'Neurotic News', alongside Damien Power.
