Ross Purdy Hey Hey It's Doomsday
Absurdist comic Ross Purdy (Rainbow Piss 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival) has to put on the show of his life when the country is taken over by a fascist dictator. If Ross fails to entertain our new leader he'll be executed by the state in this brain-bending fever dream sketch show.
An anti-establishment anti-comedy for the anti-social that's an all out ass-salt on the hiney of Australian culture.
A late-night absurdist comedy that's "like Lars Von Trier and David Lynch trying to out-mindf*%k each other" (Great Scott) and mixes live grotesque absurdity, puppetry, reality-blurring videos in a multi-media eyegasm of character comedy.
Watch Ross Purdy urinate on the corpse of satire.
Here's some paid for pull quotes
'He's a handsome boy.' Ross' Mum
'Where's my keys?' Ross' Dad
