Four weeks until I am off to the Edinburgh Fringe and freed from this PRISON!! Nah only joking. I mean I am working a lot and it is tiring, but also it's fine and I'm having a nice time. Lots of ideas, lots of thoughts, I mean at this stage I'm

Ep 345 - Maybe I'm Tired

13 days ago 39m 59s

Five weeks until I'm off to Edinburgh for the Fringe! It's not long at all, and as much as it feels like I'm just repeating myself every week about how I'm working and I'm making progress and blah blah, it struck me last week while talking to a

Ep 344 - The Campfire

22 days ago 39m 54s

I just recorded this while sitting next to a campfire I built at a little spot near Beechworth. I'm going to get up tomorrow morning and drive just up the road to this lookout nearby and watch the sunrise. It's been such an incredible few days

Ep 343 - Do You Like It?

27 days ago 42m 1s

Last week I did the podcast after a long day of work and I regret to admit that the quality of the pod reflected my energy levels at the time. This week I've waited until waking up the day after a long work day, and boy did I have way more fun!

Ep 342 - I Found A Polaroid on the Street

Jun 4th, 2024 35m 46s

Thank god I have the day off tomorrow holy fuck. The show is on Saturday, it's gonna be sick. Goodnight.

Ep 341 - Music is A Language

May 28th, 2024 41m 28s

The idea of music being a literal language for communicating in the same way that English or French is can feel kind of trite, but I genuinely believe that it's true. Not in a metaphorical sense, but in a very literal and true way, music is a d

Ep 340 - Things Just Don't Need To Be Stressful

May 21st, 2024 48m 59s

I've done so much stuff this week! And I feel like I've been pretty relaxed about it as well. I copped a pretty big reminder a few weeks ago to just slow it right down, and I'm trying to listen. I mean I say that, but then here I am putting the

Ep 339 - Maybe Rich People Are Cool

May 13th, 2024 39m 4s

I've been working all week and it's actually been great! Still happy! Still loving working on the show. Going to Cairns on Friday which I am trying to tell myself will be really nice even though I somehow resent the fact that I'm going to be aw

Ep 338 - Swimming in Good Vibes

May 7th, 2024 45m 2s

The weather is perfect, I've got two days off work, and I've just come off the back of a week of wonderful gigs in my beautiful home of Melbourne. It doesn't get much better than this, folks.

Ep 337 - Very Grateful

Apr 30th, 2024 39m 10s

Spent a lot of time in my head today just ruminating on shit while I drove the bus. Some of that time was relatively well spent thinking about jokes that I ended up doing on stage at an open mic tonight. Some of that time was less productive. I

Ep 336 - Back in Melbourne

Apr 22nd, 2024 43m 20s

There's a new bakery on my street in Coburg! I mean, it's not new, it's been there for a year or so, but I just found out that they do sandwiches. Huge game-changer. I'm back in Melbourne now and I flipped my room around today, damn it feels go

Ep 335 - Road Trip

Apr 16th, 2024 34m 52s

Man, driving across Australia with your friends is so nice. I'm learning about Ned Kelly, former Prime Ministers, doing great shows and meeting lovely people. I also can't wait to get home to Melbourne though, and I promise both you, and myself

Ep 334 - The Next Three Months

Apr 8th, 2024 45m 37s

Last night I saw one of the best, if not the best show I've ever seen. I couldn't speak afterwards, and I had to leave quickly to go and be alone with my feelings. The next three months I'm going to be working on the branding for the new show,

Ep 333 - I Left My Soul On Sydney Rd

Apr 3rd, 2024 35m 28s

I gave myself food poisoning last night. God that is a humbling thing to say. It's fair to say - and I say this with full appreciation of the irony of the word I'm about to use to describe the situation - that I well and truly cooked it last we

Ep 332 - That Was A Difficult Experience

Mar 26th, 2024 39m 16s

I had the most inspiring and inspired weekend!! I went to the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Festival on Saturday afternoon, partied Saturday night with friends, went on tour as a trainee on Sunday with a new analogue camera and took

Ep 331 - Pumpkin Pie

Mar 18th, 2024 39m 29s

After my piano lesson this evening I took myself for a lovely dinner on Lygon St and wrote a bit of stand up. I told the stories here - stories about the woman who Chopin dedicated his first set of Nocturnes to, and her various sexual/romantic

Ep 330 - Hit In The Face By A Bed Frame

Mar 12th, 2024 32m 3s

I got hit in the face by a bed frame at work today and it HURT!! I wanted to cry, but I didn't cry. Isn't it funny how girls cry when they get hurt? I've never thought about it before, but guys don't do we? We just get angry. I talked a bit abo

Ep 329 - Ten Shades Darker

Mar 4th, 2024 33m 47s

Dude, I swear every time I go to the Gold Coast I come back way darker! I legit remember it happened the first time I ever went there in 2013, there's a picture of me somewhere at the end of that trip in a nightclub or something, and I'm super

Ep 328 - I Might Just Read It Again

Feb 26th, 2024 49m 58s

Honestly, I was way too excited to record the podcast this week. I actually had something to talk about - the incredible book 'Good Material' by Dolly Alderton which I ABSOLUTELY LOVED!! I was sure I was going to be able to talk coherently abou

Ep 327 - I Like You

Feb 20th, 2024 35m 49s

Not you, I'm talking to the person behind you. Hahaha nah only joking, it's YOU that I like :) I'm tired as hell man, and I have to get up for a flight in like 4hrs or some shit whatever boo-hoo-hoo wah-wah baby cry-cry. Shut up. What a great p

Ep 326 - Bombing

Feb 13th, 2024 42m 25s

I did two gigs tonight, the first was bad in a very bad and frustrating way, and then the second was bad, but in a much more satisfying and productive way. Both of them were bad though, because it was hot today, and I spent the whole day distra

Ep 325 - Birthday

Feb 5th, 2024 48m 40s

It was my birthday yesterday! I had a lovely day driving the bus down the Great Ocean Road, even had a lovely stranger gift me some sunglasses! It's a much funnier story than that actually, but you'll have to listen to the podcast to hear it, b

Ep 324 - Listen Up!

Jan 30th, 2024 40m 11s

I've been re-reading Stewart Lee's 'How I Escaped My Certain Fate: The Life and Deaths of a Stand-Up Comedian' this week and absolutely loving it. I read it ten years ago when I first started stand-up, and reading it again with fresh eyes gives

Ep 323 - Positivity

Jan 22nd, 2024 41m 52s

I've had a wonderful few days over the weekend relaxing, playing piano, seeing friends and even doing a bit of stand up (if you can believe it!) but as I stand now on the precipice of 5 long days of work, I feel as insecure as ever. When does i

Ep 322 - Grumpier

Jan 16th, 2024 46m 11s

I've had an absolute dog of a week this week, which I've been told are the best episodes, so enjoy this one you rat cunts, because I am absolutely off it.
