Ross Purdy - Weapons Grade Comedy @ Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2026

Nominee – Golden Gibbo, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2022

Nominee – Best in Comedy, Sydney Fringe 2022
Get ready for a comedy experience that’s anything but ordinary.

Ross Purdy storms the stage with his signature brand of chaotic, unpredictable, weapons-grade comedy in a wild mix of stand-up and sketch that gleefully tears apart convention. Smart, surreal and deliberately off-centre, this is alt-comedy at its most fearless — and most fun.

Award-nominated and critically acclaimed, Purdy’s work blends absurdity with razor-sharp satire, delivering a show that’s as thought-provoking as it is laugh-out-loud ridiculous.

If you like your comedy strange, bold and a little unhinged, you’re in the right place.

“Think Eric Andre, Tim & Eric — that’s Ross’ vibe.” – The Tuesday Review
