Yes I realise that the last episode was mislabelled as "Episode 5" but hey, what are you gonna do. This is definitely episode 7 and it's a double header - Sarah Pascoe and Nish Kumar with one of the best chats yet, about the unique life of a comedian, handling online haters (well-intentioned or otherwise), and what it's like backstage at the Gala. You can see them both at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sarah in "Animal" and Nish in "Long word… Long word… Blah Blah Blah… I’m So Clever."

Episode 7: Sarah Pascoe and Nish Kumar

This is the final COMEDY CHAT! Well, until the next comedy festival rolls along. Or maybe just until I want to talk to someone funny. Who knows? It's a moveable feast. What a note to end on: I talk to Mark and Shenoah about their Melbourne International Comedy Festival show "Pterodactyl Nights," their worst gig ever, KickStarters, Breaking Bad, writing a sitcom, Aunty Donna, nerves, and what you do when you can't squeeze a sofa into a theatre. Bellissimo.

Episode 10: The Pajama Men

After some initial awkwardness where I told Kyle I didn't enjoy some of his material (my fault not his), we got back on track and had an enlightening and hilarious chats about gout, why tragedy is hilarious, how to put together an hour of comedy, advice from Louis CK, racing pizzas, being a roman emperor, avoiding political humour, and Sam Simmons smashing tacos. Kyle's show at Melbourne International Comedy Festival is "Terrestrial Woes" and despite my wooziness about his doctor material, I bloody loved it.

Episode 9: Kyle Kinane

I always love chatting to Paul Foot and spending time in his brain. Today in there we saw, and spoke about, some bats, David O'Doherty, a wall called Kenneth, my walking style, more bats, Tim Vine, and talking gherkins. Paul's show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is called "An Evening With Mr Paul Foot".
