Killing Rove is the new show from comedian/writer/drongo Patrick Marlborough (VICE, Gawker, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, The Saturday Paper) that seeks to answer the eternal question: what the!?
Watch Patrick as Rove as Patrick blur the lines between homage, threat and mania in an hour of comedy that’s part stand-up, part audio-visual collage, part DSM entry.
Joined by a floating Peter Helliar head (the ‘Peter Hell-A.I.’), sponsored by Boko Haram and fuelled by a Neighbours endorsed line of (amphetamine laced) nootropics, Killing Rove is a joke stacked whirlwind demolition of Australia during the Howard years, Australia now and Paul McDermott that demands that its audience keeps up.
