Nick Robertson is a comedian/storyteller and is a fast rising star on the Melbourne scene. Starting comedy when he was only 15, he became a staple on the Queensland scene at a young age. After taking a hiatus for 8 years (a strong career move) he’s back all guns blazing having been nominated for Best Comedy at the Dunedin Fringe 2024 with his debut solo show Leave To Enter and gone on to sell out shows nationally and internationally. Nick is back on stage where he belongs, and isn't slowing down anytime soon.

He's appeared on tour with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s Roadshow, has written for Junkee and Pedestrian TV, with regular appearances on the internationally acclaimed storytelling night and podcast Backyard Stories and has been described by Tim Minchin as ‘a genius’.

MAFIA The Game: The Show

Co-created by Nick Robertson and Ashley Apap comes MAFIA The Game The Show a late night panel show like no other, as we pit comedians against each other in a comedy show filled with as many laughs as there are lies. Split into two teams, the Mafia go head to head with the civilians in an argumentative joust of wits and deceit as the civilians try and bring the mafia to justice - but there's just one catch, the civilians don't know who's on their team and who belongs to the mafia.

A cast of Melbourne’s funniest have been assembled. Their task is simple: they must figure out who is who and untangle the web of lies and deceit without being eliminated by the Mafia. Alliances will be made and friendships will be ruined in an hour of a side-splitting sleuthing.
