Alternative comedy at its best!

Ross Purdy plays "Ross Purdy" in this alternate reality alternative comedy, putting the "destruction" in "deconstructionist anti-comedy stand up". He obliviously performs for a charity foundation spearheaded by the devilish Ian Faust to "solve" the cost of living crisis.

A Caligula orgy of nihil-ha-ha-ism, a bamboozling deluge of non sequiturs, nonsensical wordplay, body horror and punk music.

A totally improvised musical from Brisbane's best musical improv troupe the Tuning Forks!

See these talented comedians sing, dance and joke through a Broadway-style musical made up entirely on the spot. Accompanied by the incredible musician/director Mark Grimes, this show will leave you in stitches and also a little bit gobsmacked - they're world-class!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But what if life gives you not just lemons, but a variety of fruits, vegetables and more? What if all of those are invisible? Santoso‘s life changed drastically after an accident that created an enormous shift in her cognitive and physical capabilities.

She was mourning the loss of her old self, including her abilities that previously defined her, and how she lived her life by pushing her limits - which is a No No when you are recovering from a concussion. It took her a long time to accept herself and re-learn to take a break, and understand her unpredictable daily threshold.

This show is an honest and hilarious sneak peek about Santoso’s journey in living with invisible disabilities, how to find a new purpose in life, all while experiencing a spectrum reaction from others. She will tell stories, jokes, and sing parodies with hope to exhibit the harsh reality of looking good when you are indeed suffering.
