This week Fergus is joined by Sammy, Kristo, and Tom - the comedy sketch trio behind one of Australia's funniest accounts, Mates Rates. The boys have been quietly taking over TikTok with their growing cult following, and if you haven't seen their South African character or their real estate agent bit yet, we fix that immediately.

They also reveal they went to school with a relative of Karl Stefanovic - which explains absolutely nothing but somehow explains everything.

The lads talk building a sketch comedy audience from scratch, what makes a character actually land, and how three mates turned a shared sense of humour into something people actually watch.

Follow them at @matesratesinsta and prepare to lose an hour of your life.

Producer: Eleanor Hargreaves-Marr
