2023/08/27

In this episode I spoke with stand-up comedian Martha Burns who talked about the mystery of men and the horror of a gong show. Martha is a rising talent in comedy who I've seen doing spots at a few club nights and MCing her own night. She has an endearing joie de vivre, and it's the naked enthusiasm and excitement in her performance that make her such a joy to watch.

In this episode I spoke with stand-up comedian Hubert Mayr who talked about poor apartment choices, defying the Gong show, the Anglo-German linguistic conundrum and his dark materials.

He has a very relaxed style and dark humour which I enjoy enormously, and despite his often bleak material, he is a lot of fun to be around. Instagram @HubsMayr Twitter @HubsMayr The

In this episode I spoke with stand-up comedian Joshua Bethania who talked about getting personal, building up to an hour and not bringing the energy. I've seen Joshua perform a couple of times on mixed bills and he has a subdued demeanour putting all the emphasis on his material, which is delivered in as deadpan a way as you can get. For this, he won the 2022 So You Think You're Funny? competition. Instagram @JoshuaBethania_comedy Twitter @JoshuaBethania The Comedy Nerd Instagram @The

In this episode I spoke with stand-up comedian Bronwyn Sweeney who talked about Funny Women, selling oneself and performing for your idol. The now London-based comedian is a citizen of the World, with her comedy informed by an international upbringing and a career in advertising. With a Funny Women final under her belt, her debut hour at this year's Edinburgh Fringe promises to be a smash with Bronwyn being consistently charismatic, stylish, sassy and very funny.

2023/07/30

In this episode I spoke with stand-up comedian Dave Chawner who talked about nurturing gratitude, the best Easter ever and Hell on toast. It's difficult to say enough about Dave Chawner, who is not only an excellent stand-up comedian but also a passionate mental health campaigner, whose dedication to the subject has resulted in a TED talk, an award-winning show and a best-selling book. I approached Dave after seeing his 2022 show "Underdog" at the Brighton Fringe, and was delighted to find him as
