The ProgWog Files

Thio Ange did it - one of the best ProgWogs in the world triumphed in an arena where no Aussie, let alone Wog, had before, and should serve as an inspiration to all of us who he represents. I obviously lavish praise onto Ange, and then somehow segue into having a big old whinge about a shitty gig I had in the Gold Coast and how I deserved it for flying too close to the comedy sun. It's just who I am mate.

This week I took my grandparents to see 'Stelios' - the Kazantzidis biopic. It allowed me to fully realise the impact this man had on Greece, it's culture and it's people and better understand my grandparents. I speak in this ep about our relationships and their complexities. I also do a brief modern history of Albania for reasons you'll hear, as well as talking about wearing a Juventus jacket in public.

AUSTRALIA VOTES! And I'm telling you what to do - it's a no brainer but indulge me. Heavy political sh*t for a bit before I make some Sydney Comedy Festival recommendations while telling an anecdote about how petty I am, and finally, I get deep into my recent ADHD diagnosis and how it's changed my life.

I've spent a week digesting the backlash from my Last Supper post just before Easter and my apology video that followed. In this episode I obviously got heavily into that, before opening up about my own personal beliefs regarding God. Finally, I regaled a tale from my last visit to Catholic Mass a few months ago where the priest went on a tirade about abortion. It was exactly what you think.

Happy Easter/whatever brings you food to all; I spoke about my bucks party briefly as a segue into discussing what I really think the Last Supper painting is, chatted for a bit about why I need to develop thick skin in the face internet trolls, and finished off by telling a story from my weekend, in which I attended a White Lotus party that triggered my high school demons.

So this is the first one. I did some life updates, talking about the end of my tour, my Enmore show and my special which comes out 1 May. Then I after about 40 minutes I explained what this podcast is even for, and what a ProgWog is. Finally, I rambled about the stupid comments people recently left on my stand-up clip about my half Greek half Zimbabwean cousins’ experience in Greek church.
