Comedian Lizzy Hoo has a very full plate. 

Host Liz Ellis, former netball champion turned busy mum, sits down with comedy star Lizzy Hoo to talk about life at "game on" pace. Trading a corporate 9-to-5 for the unpredictable chaos of the stage, Lizzy discusses balancing a high-octane career with the everyday messiness of her 40s. They explore how she manages a "full plate" when she's mid-tour, performing late nights and surviving on whatever food she can find on the road.

The two dive into the survival strategies of a traveling comic, from Lizzy's "liquid diet" during festival season to her accidental airport yogurt-eating mishaps. Reflecting on her Chinese-Malaysian and Irish heritage, Lizzy shares how her palate has space for both pub food and spicy home cooking. It’s a hilarious look at staying nourished under pressure, featuring everything from gourmet sandwich press hacks to the truth about life on the comedy circuit.

Hosted by former Australian netball captain Liz Ellis, Full Plate is a podcast about life, told through food.

Each episode, Liz sits down with extraordinary women from all walks of life to find our what's on their plate and the meals that power them. They explore the stories, struggles, rituals and realities that shape them, through the meals they make, crave, share, or barely have time to eat. From elite athletes and comedians to chefs, frontline workers and everyday women navigating the juggle, these are honest conversations about ambition, burnout, identity, family, culture and what keeps us going.

For Liz, a “full plate” once meant the pressure of elite sport. These days, it looks more like school runs, work deadlines, family life, and figuring out what’s for dinner. Warm, funny, insightful and deeply human, Full Plate serves up the stories behind the hustle, one conversation at a time.
