Discovering New Comedians - the Australian up and comers

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.080
Caalaroga Shark Media Mappy Easter. I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.600
I thought i'd try something new today. Since it's Easter, with people on

3
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.480
holiday mode, the numbers will be
down a little bit, so I'm like,

4
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.519
all right, this will be a
fun day to try something different.

5
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.800
It's festival seasoned down in Australia.
The Melbourne Festival will just starting to get

6
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.879
in a full swing and then the
Sydney Festival will follow that up. The

7
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.079
Australian ABC asked a bunch of comedians
what other comedians they were into. So

8
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:39.320
what today is going to be is
me rattling off comedians. I'd be stunned

9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.479
if you've heard of anybody I mentioned
today. Of the entire list, there

10
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.920
was only one comedian on the entire
list that I was familiar with. So

11
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.960
this is educational for me. I've
pulled a lot of clips, so it's

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.200
going to be me talking, then
say a minute from everybody. I thought

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.439
it might be interesting to learn about
some new comedians. A couple observations as

14
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:02.520
I put this together. So many
comedians with Hey I'm from insert town you

15
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.840
never heard of. Hey I'm from
scalawawrogu. Have you guys heard of it?

16
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.319
They all do that same joke.
It's very strange, and then they

17
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.599
either slam Melbourne or Sydney. Also, as I pull these clips, I

18
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.959
want to be fair to the comics. I'm pulling a minute or so and

19
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.319
usually their first minute. So if
you're listening to this podcast, do you

20
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.359
understand how comedy works and things ebb
and flow, So it might not be

21
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.680
a fair representation of their work.
But I also don't want to play,

22
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.120
you know, thirty minute clips from
people. Mel Buddle was working as a

23
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.840
high school teacher in Brisbane when she
made it to the Raw Comedy National Final

24
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.640
in two thousand and eight. She
was twenty sixteen. She didn't win,

25
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.680
but she said it fell at Christmas. I had my first flat white and

26
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.000
ate at Pellegreenies. I was completely
swept up in the magic of the comedy

27
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.959
Festival. I couldn't believe my eyes. It blew me away. Little o

28
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.239
Me a mere mortal was in the
same sushi shop as David o'dherty. Here

29
00:01:53.359 --> 00:02:00.560
is mel Buddle at the Melbourne Comedy
Festival. Note the local humor and wow,

30
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.680
wait this is nice. Nice to
be here. Isn't it. Because

31
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:08.319
I live in a place called Ipswich
in Queensland, so whoo yes, And

32
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.400
it's nice to be somewhere nice.
If you haven't been to Whipswitch in Queensland,

33
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.919
it's a little bit of a bit
polv right, it's a bit of

34
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.719
a rat hole, like I don't
know what your nearest rat hole is.

35
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.400
Let's just I don't know. We'll
say Sydney for now. There's no there's

36
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:30.759
no purebred dogs. You know those
suburbs where everything's a Staffie cross, Staffy

37
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.439
goss Kelpie staffa goss border Collie and
I Staffy goss laborat or some of the

38
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:40.759
kids are Staffy cross. There's no
purebred dogs. We can't afford them.

39
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.560
And if you do see one,
it's a German shepherd. That's a police

40
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.159
dog. Out of the way.
Ah. That was Melbutle, who says

41
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:52.319
I really love brownwind Cuss. Whenever
she's available, I ask her to open

42
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.199
for me. She's dry as a
bone with a deadpan delivery that really allows

43
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.840
her brilliant joke writing to shine through. She has a joke about Tina Or

44
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.080
that makes me chuckle on myself on
a weekly basis. Here is that joke

45
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:15.560
from the Melbourne Comedy Festival twenty twenty
three. All right, I'll go first.

46
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.759
I guess I think you've got to
be careful what you say to people,

47
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.479
right, Like some stuff, some
stuff really sticks. Yeah, Like

48
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.039
for me, when I was fifteen, someone said to me, she said,

49
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:35.039
hey, you know Tina Arena.
I said, yeah, I know,

50
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:40.080
Tina Arena. She said, well
Tina not even her real name.

51
00:03:43.680 --> 00:04:00.360
Her real name Pena, Pena Arena. If anyone out there is waiting for

52
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:11.280
a punchline, it's Peena Arena.
Reese Nicholson says, in terms of a

53
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:16.040
lovely schmorgasboard of new babies, I
feel professionally threatened by Melbourne International Comedy Festival's

54
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:21.040
Comedy Zone is always a sure thing. Here's Reese Nicholson at the Sydney Comedy

55
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:26.160
Festival. It is so genuinely nice
to be like out and about doing things

56
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.160
again, like because remember at the
beginning of everything a few years ago,

57
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.759
and let's not talk about it,
but like at the beginning of everything,

58
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.439
i'd friends when the lockdown started,
I'd friends that really used that time.

59
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.279
I don't think I've ever used time
like I'd friends that like you know,

60
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.519
you got really fit during the lockdowns, transformed their bodies. Me. No,

61
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.879
I've been in a relationship with the
same man for over a decade.

62
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.160
At the beginning of the pandemic,
we locked the doors and we started drinking

63
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:54.199
like it was jonestown, Like I
oh, I've never given up with such

64
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.480
a band and in my entire life, like what a thrill. I reckon

65
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.839
for six to nine months. So
the closest we came to any kind of

66
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:09.879
exercise was we once tried to have
sex under a weighted blanket, and it's

67
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:15.120
the least anxious I've been during sex. An agent recent Joris is Luca Miller

68
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.360
and says I wouldn't really call him
an up and coming anymore, but Luca

69
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:23.399
Miller always needs more attention. His
show this year has a wonderfully Bonker's conceit.

70
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.480
He's a good boy. Here is
Luca Miller. He did everyone have

71
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.680
a good Christmas? It's pretty deep
into the year for that question, for

72
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.680
sure. Middle of April, I
had a great Christmas. I went back

73
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.160
to the town that I grew up
in. I grew up in regional Victoria,

74
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.959
a town called a Chuka. Do
you guys know a Chuka. Yes,

75
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.319
yes, yes, that's good.
People always have some connection to it.

76
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.079
A few weeks ago go I was
like, I've been there. I

77
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.399
was like, what did you do
there? He goes, I've played paintball

78
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.000
and I don't know anyone knows,
but quite a good thing happened at the

79
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.959
paintball place in a Shuga a few
years ago. So I was like,

80
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.800
cool, man, when was that
when it was a paintball He's like,

81
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.600
oh, maybe about five years ago. I'm like, that's good. And

82
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.079
it makes sense because three years ago
the guy who ran the paintball place and

83
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.959
a chooka went to jail for selling
math and he said, yeah, when

84
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.040
I was there, he tried to
sell me math. Beautiful town, most

85
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.360
intense payball games in the state.
Nina Oyama says, I love being asked

86
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.600
for recommendations because there are so many
great up and coming comedians who deserve your

87
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.279
attention and money. Now here's Nina. As I listen to, I'll tell

88
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:29.519
you what I think afterwards. Hey, hey guys, oh my god,

89
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.040
I didn't expect so much supplause.
This is really cool. Yeah, it's

90
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.160
really cool. I love I love
Sydney, I love living here. But

91
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.040
Before I moved to Sydney, I
lived in Bathist. Has anyone heard of

92
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.079
Bathist? All right? Yeah,
Bathist is Like it's like famous for the

93
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.480
car racing, you know, like
the Bathist one thousand races, and less

94
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:54.040
famous for like the Bathist one thousand
racists. But oh, I'm half Asian,

95
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.040
by the way, Like that's why
my face is weird. Yeah,

96
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.160
my dad's Japanese. So he flew
hey blue here and then I agree here,

97
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.920
taut looks I didn't want to poison
your brain there. I feel like

98
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:15.040
she's reciting her material rather than performing
it. I'm not a performer. I

99
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.800
feel like she's memorial Obviously everyone's memorized
their act, but for example, I'm

100
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.680
working off my coworker of mine used
to call it script helper. I'm not

101
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.800
totally reading to you. I'm looking
at the words and I'm trying to talk

102
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.959
them. I feel like she has
memorized everything and is just reciting it,

103
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.959
if that makes sense me. And
it's all the ABC. It's an incredible

104
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.279
feeling to witness a new comedian's rise
to fame, and an even better feeling

105
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.480
when he gets a smugly say I
saw them back at twenty twenty four when

106
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.240
they performed at a venue that's used
as a carpet store room for the other

107
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.920
eleven months of the year. I
do that, Guilty, Guilty. This

108
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.439
is more common than you think,
and to their credit, carpet roots do

109
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.399
make surprisingly good settings for comedy.
Anyway, take a punt on any of

110
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.959
these shows. They are well worth
your while and many are in actual proper

111
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.920
venues. You've heard me say this
before about comedy fests, like if you

112
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.680
want to see Chris Rock, Chris
Rock's great, you can also see Chris

113
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.439
Rock on Netflix. Go see Somebody
Haven't heard of? She recommends. Alexandra

114
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.319
Hudson. I like this clip a
lot from the Melbourne Comedy Festival. A

115
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.839
little bit about me. I was
born Sandwich between my brother and my sister,

116
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.040
so each year on our birthday,
I call and thank them for the

117
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:31.159
brain damage. You can laugh,
they're not here, Yeah, so that'd

118
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:39.399
make me crip lead. People always
ask me what it's like being a triplet,

119
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.559
but honestly, I've got more in
common with my ninety six year old

120
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:48.360
grandmother then I do my fellow triplets, because me and my grandmother we show

121
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.600
a lot of the same ailments like
she has bunions and I have bunyans.

122
00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.000
She uses a walker. I used
to use a walker. She often pushed

123
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.519
me around on her walker when I
can't be bothered walking anymore. Yeah,

124
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.960
we have a really great thing going. We sit back all everyone in our

125
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:15.759
family does everything for us. Next
up we have Zoe comes More. Here

126
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.600
she is at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. And what I like is she comes

127
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.240
right out and starts, no work
in the audience, just grabs the make

128
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.320
boom and we're in. So you
know, when you're on magic mushrooms,

129
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.519
you know he knows, and yeah
he knows, and you know that thing,

130
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:31.519
right, that thing that happens.
You know, say you take the

131
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.559
mushrooms at like eight forty five and
then four and a half hours later it's

132
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:43.159
eight forty six. What's up with
that? That's what twenty twenty was like.

133
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.399
My girlfriend and I moved to Melbourne
at the beginning of twenty twenty.

134
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.720
It's weird because we've lived in Sydney
for about fifteen years, but somehow we've

135
00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.639
lived in Melbourne longer. So weird. Yes, I did, it's a

136
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.639
girlfriend. I am a lesbian.
Best to clarify that early. It can

137
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.399
be confusing, can't it? Like? Is she lesbian or just from the

138
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.120
country boat? Hey? Double?
Where me? I am very high up

139
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:16.679
in my coven. Will Zoe recommends
Lou Wall. Lou's been doing great stuff

140
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.240
for years and their show this year
is the wrongest list of life affirming,

141
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.200
dumb stuff you never know you needed, delivered via internet memes and musical comedy

142
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.759
by an eight foot talk queer comic
from Kuma. What morek could you want?

143
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.159
Also? I directed that one,
so don't let it put you off.

144
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.480
Unfortunately there is no clip of Lou
Wall available, but the show's called

145
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:39.240
The bisexuals Lament and it'll be at
the Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney Comedy Festivals.

146
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.600
It's next guy. I like a
lot. I did make an edit

147
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:48.200
here because of an F bomb,
but boy he's got presence. This is

148
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.159
Dilbrook Jaya Sinna. I believe,
I hope I got that right. It's

149
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.840
truly nice to be back back on
stage, back in Melbourne. I actually,

150
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.240
I actually one of the few people
that get to say it's nice to

151
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.919
be back in Australia because I'm one
of the lucky people that just flew internationally

152
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:11.000
Yeah, I just got in from
Perth and it's just nice to be back

153
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.080
on home soil two years of a
pandemic. Two years ago. I was

154
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.440
the last sort of international flight I
took, and that was to South Africa

155
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.039
to go into a jungle for the
TV show I'm a celebrity, Get me

156
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.399
out of here. But when I
went in, they were going to change

157
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.639
the name too. Is he a
celebrity? Should he be here? I

158
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.519
had a small profile, right,
and of course they start kicking people off

159
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.759
the show, and the bigger the
profile you have, the longer you stay

160
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.080
because the audience picks up the phone
votes for the people they like. Right

161
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.919
now, I still knew that I
was going to go all the way to

162
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.679
the end, and that's not arrogance. I just know how the game works

163
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.399
because it's voted by the Aussie public
that these days consist of so many immigrants.

164
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.639
Haha. You think people from India, Schulankan, pakistan A voting for

165
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.480
Randa Birch. It's like that meme
you know, Carol's by candlelight curries by

166
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.960
candlelight Steel. Rox says, there
are two bronze that I'm in awe of

167
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.039
bron Lewis has only been doing comedy
for a handful of years, but her

168
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.000
command of the stage and skills and
make you think she's a seasoned veteran who's

169
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.480
been doing stand up for decades.
And the joke writing in Bronwin Cuss,

170
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.080
a show last year, made my
own material feel like an open micer's.

171
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:22.080
We heard braun Win Cuss earlier.
Here's bron Lewis at the Melbourne Festival in

172
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.120
twenty twenty three. A lot of
buzz on her and she is the one

173
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.120
comic I had heard of before I
put this together. Note I did take

174
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.440
out a short phrase of her material
here because of an F bomb. Heh,

175
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.480
Hello, Hello God, it's good
to be out. I am living

176
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.600
with a blunke at the moment who
doesn't speak English. I know this is

177
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.840
very unpopular to say, but it's
really annoying. I mean, he has

178
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.200
only just turned two. You've been
here your whole life. You know,

179
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:01.879
I similate you, baby. You
know we're trying to teach him how to

180
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.159
speak English. We are we trying
to We're teaching him words he needs to

181
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.080
know to survive, you know,
because we do want him to survive.

182
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.919
He's a beautiful baby. We love
him so much, but mostly we want

183
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.840
him to survive because we don't want
to start again. You know, we

184
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.720
are. We're teaching where to survive, like food. When he's hungry,

185
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.519
he says food, great, nailed
it. When he's thirsty, We're trying

186
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:30.240
to teach him how to say water. It's having a hard time with that

187
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:39.200
one. Because we pronounce it water, he pronounces it puta. That's a

188
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:46.440
bit funny because the cultured people in
the room, we know that puta in

189
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:54.440
Spanish means whore. Love it back
in a second. Will Anderson up next.

190
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.919
This is a Greek clip. I
had to make several edits for the

191
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.960
f bombs, but hopefully you get
the gist here. Love this clip.

192
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.480
I tried not to get mad at
the Americans for making stuff up about our

193
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.320
country, because, let's be honest, I also make up stuff about our

194
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.159
country, particularly when I'm overseas,
because people think I'm an expert in Australia

195
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.720
just because I'm from here. But
you don't know everything about here just because

196
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.399
you're from here and they want to
know about stuff it's not my area of

197
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.600
expertise. They don't ask me about
the dark Knight trilogy. They asked me

198
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.960
about like Koalas. I'm like,
well, I can tell you about doctor

199
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.399
who. They're like, no,
Koalas, that's all they want to know.

200
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.639
And I've been spreading misinformation because I
didn't really I wasn't an expert,

201
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.600
and I just was passing on what
i'd heard. And I'd heard this is

202
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.840
my favorite thing I'd heard about Koala's
was they sleep eighteen to twenty two hours

203
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.519
a day. And the reason they
sleep eighteen to twenty two hours a day

204
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.360
is you canalypt as leaves. I
only give them enough nutrition to be awake

205
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.960
for the remaining hours. But the
reason they like you canalypt as leaves is

206
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.360
you calypt as leves get them high. And I was like, I love

207
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.600
Koala's high half. I was like, that is the best evolutionary choice of

208
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.240
all time. One day, one
Koala's looked at the other Koala and gone,

209
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.360
hey, Bill, you know what, after our next nap, get

210
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.399
out of the tree and get some
more nutritious thing and then we could like

211
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.559
work more during the day. And
Bill's like, We've made our choice,

212
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.399
mate. We've sleep fight in to
twenty two hours and then we get high

213
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.080
and we hang out in a tree
and we'll like, oh my god,

214
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.960
I'm fluffy. Why are you making
trouble? Mike? Why are you I

215
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.440
failing this? Will says I think
of all the shows I saw last year's

216
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.480
Melbourne, Bronwin Cuss was my favorite. Right, that's the third time Bronwin's

217
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.559
been mentioned. Such a relaxed style
and great jokes. Lou Wall is definitely

218
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.279
a new favorite. Their Facebook marketplace
piece is genius and I'm looking forward to

219
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.120
seeing a whole hour of them.
Tom Walker has been around for a while

220
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.039
now, but still one of the
most inventive and surprising comedians on the scene.

221
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.799
I think Prue Blake is definitely someone
to watch, great smart jokes in

222
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.519
a dry delivery. Here's Prue at
Melbourne. I've been thinking a lot about

223
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.799
friendship recently. Friendship it's meant to
be the thing that makes your life better,

224
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.320
right, But for me, it's
just been very hard and difficult to

225
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.360
maintain. And like, I know, like I was never the popular girl

226
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.240
in school. I was never that
hot girl, you know, the girl

227
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.960
that kind of like marched to the
beat of her own drum, like everyone

228
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.399
wanted to do what she was doing. Everyone wanted to wear what she was

229
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.240
wearing. Everyone wanted to say what
she was saying. You know, she

230
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.039
marched that beat of her own drum, but the beat of her drum was

231
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.639
the BPM that makes house music people
go absolutely feral. She had like,

232
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:26.000
did your school have that girl?
No? If your answer is no,

233
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:33.600
then you were that girl. And
I'm thrilled that you came. So I'm

234
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.440
Gleason. Clip next from Melbourne twenty
seventeen. I had to make several edits

235
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.120
for f bombs. Here the topic
is the Wiggles. I don't like the

236
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.240
setup. I don't know if you
know they've done They've rebooted it. I'll

237
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.360
talk you through it. This is
what they're doing now right Anthony, he's

238
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.000
still there at the Blue Wiggle,
He's still there right. Then there's Simon.

239
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.000
He's the Red Wiggle. He used
to be an opera singer or something.

240
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.600
He's like, hello, Kudes,
boom boom, boom boom, you're

241
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:03.079
creeping me out, Simon. You've
got dead eyes, mate. Then there's

242
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:08.039
Lockie. He's the Purple Wiggle.
There's no Jeff anymore, Lockie, there's

243
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.680
no wake up Jeff anymore. It's
Wyke. Up Lockie doesn't even sound right?

244
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:18.720
Does it? Wake up? Lockee? Actually stay asleep. Then there's

245
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.079
Emma. There's a girl wiggle.
Now there's a girl wiggle. Now what

246
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:32.240
has his country come to? Wiggling
is a man's job. You can't trust

247
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.559
a woman with this. Tom Gleason
tells us, I've got one recommendation,

248
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.480
and that is Jenny Tann. I
saw her at the Adelaide Fringe. Saw

249
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.519
a lot of shows there, maybe
twenty shows, and maybe another five shows

250
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.640
at the Perth Fringe. It was
my favorite out of all them. Jenny's

251
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.000
fresh, she's young. She was
talking about stuff that I don't think about,

252
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.799
which I like. She's very funny. Obviously she's got a good story

253
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.799
to tell. She had just gotten
into stand up when the pandemic started,

254
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:56.960
so she had to put her plans
on hold for a couple of years.

255
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.599
In the past the time she did
TikTok and accidentally on purpose, became famous,

256
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.359
so she's got this huge TikTok following. It was fascinating when I saw

257
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.720
her in Adelaide. The crowd was
on board right from the top, and

258
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.279
everybody seemed to know her from TikTok. They already liked her personality, but

259
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.920
I think the thing that makes her
cut above is that she's a really good

260
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.880
stand up. I'm not on TikTok, and I understood the whole show.

261
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.640
I really enjoyed it, so she's
really good at including people. I liked

262
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.640
this clip a lot. This is
Jenny Tan at the Melbourne Festival in twenty

263
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.000
twenty three. I also like,
as I mentioned before, she gets right

264
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:30.359
to it, grabs some Mike goes, doesn't go like, hey, Melbourne,

265
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.039
how we don't just boom right into
the material? That's how I like

266
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.079
my comics to do it. I
wanted to play a lot more from her,

267
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:42.240
but she started to get a little
dirty about boobs, so I had

268
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.839
to cut this a little shorter than
I wanted to. But I like this

269
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.480
a lot. Allo, you are
such a beautiful audience. By the way,

270
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.519
not all audiences are so nice,
right Like, I did a gig

271
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.720
the other day and there was actually
someone that came up to me after the

272
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.599
show and they were like, you
know, your English is actually quite good,

273
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:07.519
and I found that very condescending because
it was my mom. So I'd

274
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.519
be curious with what you thought of
today's episode. Hopefully you enjoyed. It's

275
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.079
something a little different and you got
a lot more stand up than you usually

276
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.920
get. Let me know in the
Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group would

277
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.039
be curious at what you thought of
today's show. All right, normal episodes

278
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.799
tomorrow there's something a little different to
break things up. Happy Easter and I'll

279
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:23.440
see you tomorrow
