Tom Cashman brings NPC (Nearly Proficient Comedian) to Comedy Republic Theatre on Saturday 7 November 2026 at 18:30. The Melbourne return presents the hour of stand-up he performed at the city’s comedy festival.

An hour with the Taskmaster comedian

Cashman is known from Taskmaster and his online comedy. The show’s title plays on his supposedly near-proficient status, setting up a self-deprecating evening of stand-up. Comedy Republic lists a 60-minute running time and recommends the show for ages 16 and over. Coarse language and adult themes are flagged in the event listing.

Tickets and unreserved seating

The published ticket price is A$25. Book directly through Comedy Republic and confirm any fees and current availability before paying. Seating is general admission, with no allocated seats. The theatre usually opens approximately 15 minutes before the advertised start. If you are coming with friends, entering together makes it easier to sit as a group.

Check the stairs before booking

The venue is at 231 Bourke Street in central Melbourne. Access is by stairs only: 22 steps to the bar and another 25 to the theatre. It is not wheelchair accessible. Contact the venue about other access requirements before purchasing. Guests under 18 must attend with a responsible adult, separate from the show’s 16-plus age recommendation.
