Dan Rath crafts razor-sharp, offbeat stand-up that's equal parts cerebral, self-deprecating, and hilariously absurd—dissecting depression, social isolation, dating apps, health obsessions, and the chaos of modern existence with deadpan precision. A former yoghurt lid factory worker (sacked, naturally), his unique voice shines in shows like RATHEMATICS (2016 debut) and Cockroach Party. He's a multi-award winner: Best of the Fest at Sydney Comedy Festival (2025), Director’s Choice at Melbourne International (2025), Piece of Wood Award (2024), and Just For Laughs New Face (2025). His debut special I’m Not Doing Well Folks (2024) has 100k+ YouTube views. Co-host of Neurotic News podcast with Damien Power, Dan's sold-out festival runs and TV spots (Comedy Up Late) make him a cult favorite. Catch his latest hour Tropical Depression live.
