Adam's book Twelve Summers is out now.

Twelve Summers is the story of those big memories and the big matches that accompanied them, told by one of the funniest writers in Australia.

 

This episode’s guest is one of my favourite comedians, Lawrence Mooney.

I love Lawrence because he says the things I dare not think.

He’s an actor, a writer, a stand up and of course a radio host.

I’ve known him since we made the pilot for the Agony series back in 2010 and it was about 30 seconds into interviewing him that I knew we had a show.

So I’m  extremely grateful to him.

Other career highlights for Lawrence include hosting the tonight show, Dirty Laundry Live, the Paralympics for ABC2, and Moonman in the Morning for Triple M.

Lawrence Mooney - Another 10 Questions

The lawyer-turned-comedian and television creator, Nazeem Hussain.

If you’re anywhere near TikTok you’ll see that Nazeem’s sketch shows Legally Brown, which first screened on SBS, and Orange is the New Brown (Channel 7), have gained a whole new, obsessively loyal audience.

But Nazeem’s not thinking too much about creating any television right now.

He’s just become a father for a second time and his stand-up show, Hussain That? is currently playing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival before he takes it around Australia.

In this episode, we revisit a story Nazeem told me in 2015, in which he and his family narrowly escaped death.

We also talk about his problem with punctuality, and how former Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, once sent him fun sized Snickers bars.

As usual, I start off by asking Nazeem, how he thinks his colleagues would describe him.

Nazeem Hussain

Pretty excited to have the British comedian Mark Watson on the podcast this week – not only do I find him hilarious, but I also like the way he explores the formats in which comedy can be presented.

He’s won Perrier awards, Time Out Critics Choice awards and been nominated for Barry Awards at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

He’s appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week, Would I Lie to You, and Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow. AND, he’s also written five novels.

Mark is back in Melbourne right now with his new show This Can’t Be it – where he tries to cram a year of pathological overthinking into an hour’s stand up.

Mark’s plane to Melbourne, which also had Adam Hills on board, was delayed by 24 hours due to a catering issue.

We talk about that here.

We also talk about him using a Welsh accent when he first started in comedy, and the fact that it’s necessary in an industry where you need to create your own work to continually tell yourself to keep going.

Pretty excited to be interviewing a duo this week. Possibly, Australia’s funniest duo.

They are Melbourne Comedy Festival favourites, they’re winners of the Edinburgh Fringe Perrier Award, and they made two hilarious seasons of their sitcom on the ABC.

Throughout this interview with Colin Lane and Frank Woodley we talk about how they started off as a trio called The Found Objects with a writer-performer called Scott Casley.

They also talk about performing comedy when you’re grieving, as well as performing comedy immediately after a partner has given birth.

And they also reveal that in 30 years of working together, they’ve never told each other to get fucked. But that may or may not change during the course of this interview.

On a serious note, Lano and Woodley are about to embark on their most ambitious show yet – a comic, demented (their description), version of the Herman Melville novel, Moby Dick, which is touring all over the country.  

As usual, I start off by asking Colin and Frank how their fellow workers would describe them.
