    Rob Comiskey on Risk, Rain & Real Margins

    10/02/2026 | 12 mins.
    This week on Proper True Yarn, Knuckles sits down with Rob Comiskey from Comiskey Group to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to bring massive live shows to life.
    Rob breaks down the promoter game: why sometimes you don’t “promote” a show - you buy it, how deals can be decided in minutes, and why it’s all risk vs reward (and honestly… sometimes it’s just a punt). From turning down Elton John early at Sandstone Point, to bringing out The Beach Boys, to the brutal moment COVID flipped a sold-out Violent Femmes show into a six-figure loss overnight - Rob shares the wins, the misses, and the stuff punters never see.
    They yarn about genre-by-genre bar spend, lightning evacuations, why insurance has become a nightmare, and the reality that one headline or a curveball can change everything. If you’ve ever wondered how the big dogs do it — this one’s a proper behind-the-scenes belter.

    Rob Comiskey: From One Pub to a $850m+ Empire

    08/02/2026 | 14 mins.
    Rob Comiskey from the Comiskey Group jumps on the Proper True Yarn Podcast to share how his family built some of Australia’s biggest pubs and live music venues -including Eaton’s Hill Hotel and Sandstone Point Hotel.
    From building Subways at 19, getting ripped off by dodgy managers, and taking massive risks, to running eight mega pubs, resorts and $850M+ in projects - this is a proper “have-a-crack” business yarn about backing yourself and building big.
    Hospitality, property, live music, and real Aussie hustle.

    Silly Saturday #9 - Firefighter “Bro-tel”, Outback Nursing Yarn & Thailand Kidnap Scare

    06/02/2026 | 9 mins.
    Knuckles and Zak are back behind the mic pressing play on some of the loosest listener yarns yet.

    Silly Saturday #9 is full call-in chaos - random voicemails, outback stories, and the kind of stuff you only hear when real legends send in their “proper true yarns.”

    This week the boys react to:

    • a firefighter protecting a property near Dalby that turns out to be the world’s weirdest “bird sanctuary” (aka the infamous bro-tel)
    • a remote nurse with a classic roadside outback mishap
    • a Thailand party trip that turns into a full kidnap/extortion scare
    • heaps of banter, roasting, and zero filter from Knuckles & Zak

    It’s unpredictable, unedited, and exactly what Silly Saturday is meant to be - mates listening to wild stories and talking absolute rubbish.

    Perfect for the drive, the shed, or a laugh at the gym.

    🎙️ Proper True Yarn Podcast - Aussie humour, country culture, and real stories from real people.
