Steve Wrigley

Steve Wrigley returns with a brand‑new hour of gloriously nerdy stand‑up. Originally from New Zealand, Steve has built a devoted Instagram following thanks to his sharp, joyful riffs on geek‑core obsessions like Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings, and the strange magic of fandom culture.

This new show brings all the things audiences love about him: quick‑fire crowd work, off‑the‑rails improvisation, and stories that feel both wildly imaginative and painfully relatable. If you’ve ever rolled a d20, argued about hobbits, or simply enjoyed watching a grown man spiral into delightful chaos, this is your night.

All sales are final. Refunds and exchanges are offered only when a show is canceled or rescheduled.

Steve Wrigley is a veteran stand-up comedian and professional Dungeon Master whose career spans two hemispheres and countless dice rolls. Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, Steve earned national fame as a Billy T Award-winning comic and TV regular on 7 Days, Jono and Ben, and other beloved Kiwi comedy staples. His mix of improv flair, absurd storytelling, and heartfelt punchlines made him one of Aotearoa’s most recognizable comedic voices.

After relocating to New York, Steve brought his signature humor to American stages, blending Kiwi perspective with U.S. absurdity. His debut comedy album, States of America, released in 2024, is a hilarious and heartfelt exploration of his immigrant experience—covering everything from toddler chaos to political salad bars. The album features 16 tracks of sharp observational comedy and is streaming on Sirius XM, Spotify, and all major platforms.

In recent years, Steve has carved out a niche with his one-of-a-kind Dungeons & Dragons-inspired crowd work—blending live storytelling, improv, and high fantasy in a format unlike anything else in comedy. These shows feature epic worldbuilding, hilarious riffs, and spontaneous audience interaction, drawing crowds from both the stand-up scene and the tabletop gaming community. Clips of his D&D-inspired sets have gone viral on TikTok and Instagram, where his chaotic creativity and quickfire character work have earned him a growing global fanbase.
