In a post-post-post dystopian nightmare landscape, but many years before the birth of whom we call God, but in the year 2018, a mere mortal journeys forth into a career in show business to help positively influence the masses but finds himself confronting the moral ambiguity of social responsibility, corporate culture and infinite liquid knowledge all served with a double decker slice of Dominos Pizza

Thinly connected narrative vignettes that slap together to the form the weeping comedy mindpus that seeps and sops from the braingasms of Ross Purdy.

A hyper-caffeinated, sensory-shattering, sensibility tearin'-up-ifying romp into pure id. Visceral, surrealist, punk comedy pushed to its absolute breaking point.

Not stand up. Not sketch. Not theatre. Not a comedy show for normal people.

Presented by: Ross Purdy

Ross Purdy has been performing his unique and distinct brand of absurdist humour since 2013 around Melbourne’s comedy rooms, delighting and terrifying audiences in equal measure with his wild, erratic and unpredictable performances that mix the bleak and the whimsical, the puerile and the avant-garde with a unique and distinct comedic voice and point of view
