With this pedigree, he brings his new show Greg Larsen: Unrelenting Ultra-Violence to the Adelaide Fringe for a very limited run.

Introducing himself to the Drama Llama crowd at the Rhino Room as the “last great comedian” and a “neo-prophet”. He started the show by stating that he was going to relay entries from his journal that had been written over a number of years as evidence to aliens of what the last years of humanity was like.

He began with a journal entry from 10 December 2017, when the Federal Health Minister, Greg Hunt was found to have liked an X-rated porn tweet and claimed he had been hacked by the Chinese Government. Larsen then moved to an entry from January 2022 where a friend had reported scooping poop out of his wife’s birthing pool while she was giving birth which became an exploration of what primitive people must have thought about sex and getting pregnant. He then moved through entries about being threatened at a vape store on 4 February 2025, a 19 May 2023 entry about the report from the Royal Commission into bullying in the ADF and toxic workplaces, the size of his dog’s neck compared to his own, his working life, Michael Jackson, and more. All the entries led to his conclusion about the state of modernity.

Larsen’s talent as a comedian is huge with his self-deprecating style quickly winning over the appreciative audience. He moves through the entries and the subsequent insights with light and shade but is at best when he is at full speed with his thoughts coming rapidly applying layer after layer of his sometimes cuttingly perceptive sharp humour upon each other with hilarious results.

With only a short run at this year’s Fringe, Greg Larsen: Unrelenting Ultra-Violence will probably be missed by most Fringe goers but those who do see him will witness a comic treat.
