NEWS WEAKLY 180 – 27th September, 2025


Hi everyone, This year marks my twenty years in comedy, and to celebrate I’m doing a one-off, one-time-only anniversary comedy show called:

You'd Think After 20 Years I'd Be Better At This

13th November, 6:30pm

Comedy Republic Theatre, Melbourne


It’s twenty years of stand-up crammed into one night—a greatest hits, a worst-of, and some brand new material, all about surviving two decades of comedy, hecklers, pandemics, marriages, divorces, and jokes that should have stayed in the notebook.

Tickets are just $25. But if you’re a member at patreon.com/samishah, you’ll get a special discount code, plus that smug glow of knowing you’re keeping this podcast alive and healthy!

So, if you want cheaper tickets and better karma, sign up to Patreon. Otherwise, grab your tickets now, because once this show’s done, it’s done.


TOP STORIES OF THE WEEK
  • UN Turns 80, Still Doesn’t Look a Day Over Irrelevant!
  • Pakistan Offers Saudi Arabia a Bomb Shelter, with Actual Bombs!
  • Andrew Hastie Says Cut Immigration or the Liberals Die, Which Honestly Sounds Like a Win-Win!

All that, and just a little bit more, on NEWS WEAKLY!


QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Optus is the only telco where ‘Can you hear me now?’ is a philosophical question.”
