About the Room
Comedy on the Rox was co-parented by Adrian Saunders and Kathryn Bendall. They both had a background in marketing, sales and event management. Motivated by the opportunity to make untold riches in comedy (as well as a little stage time), they decided to start their own weekly comedy room.
In 2010 sees Comedy on the Rox in its fifth year ( that’s 25 years in comedy room years) still happy to be bringing new events to Sydney comedy, along with the ‘old favourite: the $5000 Quest for the Best new comic competition.

About Kathryn Bendall
Kathryn Bendall is a woman who has spent her life staring down fears: a fear of marriage (she’s had two), a fear of children (she’s had three) and now a fear of being funny (she’s had four).
Kathryn started on the open mic circuit in February 2004. Her fear of being funny kicked off when she was selected as a finalist in 2Day FM’s Search for a Comedy God. Kathryn’s funniness became deep-rooted as a recurring condition when she made it to the NSW state finals of Raw Comedy in the same year.
After her corporate career collapsed she naturally sought the financial rewards of stand up comedy – and she hasn’t been disappointed. Today, Kathryn performs on the lucrative open mic circuit, and runs Comedy on the Rox, one of Sydney’s favourite comedy rooms and a breeding ground for new comics.
In 2008, Kathryn performed at The Big Joke Comedy Festival in Bangalow, and also appeared in Meat – The Musical as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. She’s over the moon – she hasn’t earned a penny!
