Jarryd Goundrey - A Road Dog @ Melbourne Comedy Festival


  • Golden Gate Hotel 238 Clarendon Street South Melbourne, VIC, 3205 Australia (map)

Jarryd Goundrey is Australia's Least Decorated Soldier.

After serving in the Australian Army for seven years as an infantry soldier and then leaving to work in a restaurant as a decorated chef, Jarryd is now on the road, hustling as a comedian.

Surrounded by a high-achieving successful family, Jarryd is happy being the black sheep stepson. His decision to put his possessions into storage and live on the road for the last 14 months as a full-time professional comic was met with scepticism, but life seems to be working.

Jarryd has amassed over 36 million views online for his storytelling and military humour and is a regular at all the comedy clubs across Australia.

His show Incoming sold out its run at the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and his show Good Lord! sold out the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2023.

Jarryd has shared the stage with Jimeoin, Dave Hughes, Kitty Flanagan, Joel Creasey, Tom Ballard, Dave O'Neil, Damian Power, Mark Normand, Jim Jeffries and many more.

Come see why.
