Jarryd Goundrey | Great Australian Stepson

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 24 million views online for his storytelling and military humour, has a top 100 Podcast, 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 (MICF), and his show Good Lord! sold out the Adelaide Fringe and MICF in 2023.

Jarryd has supported Jimeoin, Dave Hughes, Kitty Flanagan, Joel Creasey, Tom Ballard, Dave O'Neil, Damien Power, Mark Normand, and many more.
