On this week's episode I'm joined by Raw Comedy National Finalist and Moosehead Award recipient, Freddie Arthur.

We chat about how it feels to win this prestigious grant, Freddie's new show, as well as catching up on a recent bomb, before getting into the fallout from Freddie speaking up on instagram about some gross behaviour in the Melbourne comedy scene.

We talk rejection, ideal timeslots, diss tracks, and a whole lot more.

This week I'm joined by Bronte Locke and Barney Pollock to talk about Hand Foot in Mouth; Bronte's debut show directed by Barney.

We chat about what inspired the show, how it was developed, and the value of "finding it in the room."

We also chat about acting school, mentoring, clowning on zoom, and how it feels to be directed by someone you're in a relationship with.

This week I'm joined by the brilliant Mish Wittrup. You may know Mish from Aunty Donna, Fisk, Sam Pang Tonight or her excellent stand-up shows.

We chat the realities of a full-time freelance comedian where every week is a little bit different, swapping theatre for comedy, getting out of debt, the value of a director, warm-up, and a whole lot more.

Stick around at the end to hear a special bonus appearance from Dan Hough and Tamara Absalom.
