Live at the Purple Onion is the first special and DVD by American stand-up comedian Zach Galifianakis directed by Michael Blieden.

The show was recorded at the San Francisco club The Purple Onion in June 2005.

Galifianakis's routine features his trademark dry humor and a large portion of it is accompanied by a light piano piece played by him as bed music.

One of the sections is an unscripted roadtrip to The Purple Onion in a Volkswagen Bus with Galifianakis and his friend Joe Wagner.

The bus ends up breaking down just short of their goal so they finish the trip in a GoCar, a small rental vehicle meant for tourists.
