Chris Franklin is a stalwart of Australian comedy. A 21 year comic veteran, Chris has not only witnessed the comedy industry grow, but has been instrumental in that growth. And so it should come to no surprise that Chris is behind the latest Australian comedy festival, 'Laughs of Launnie'. 

From March 18 to 24, and smack bang between the Adelaide Fringe Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Laughs of Launnie has already attracted high profile comedians, including Lehmo, Tripod, The Kagools, and Randy Feltface, amongst many other top Aussie and international comedians.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, Chris and I discuss how Laughs of Launnie came to be, his upcoming shows, as well as his April School of Hard Knock Knocks guest comedian spot in Melbourne. That's right, if you'd like to be coached in stand-up by this living legend, visit www.schoolofhardknockknocks.com.
