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.
