Tim "Rosso" Ross Takes Man About The House On Tour

Tim "Rosso" Ross and Kit Warhurst are bringing their show Man About The House to unique venues across the country, starting Saturday. 

Ross, best known as one half of '00s popular radio duo Merrick & Rosso, will be performing a show that combines comedy with music, history and insght into the architecture of each of the special locations. The locations range from a repurposed 1934 incinerator designed by Walter Burley Griffin, to a 100-year-old disused undeground reservoir, to an iconic 1950s home designed by Robin Boyd. 

"Everyone loves to have a sticky beak in someone else's house, now we've taken that up a notch and sweetened the deal with some laughs and music. I also get to work with my best mate Kit, writing silly songs and performing together, which is pretty great," says Ross. 

The award-winning Man About The House show began in 2012 at Rose Seidler House, was produced in Palm Springs in 2014, and then returned earlier this year as Man About The Penthouse.

Ross is also currently working on a book of short stories for ABC Books, and has just finished filming Streets Of Your Town, a doco about our suburbs for ABC.
