1 hour 7 minutes

In this episode, comedian Nikki Valentine shares her journey in the world of stand-up comedy and beyond. A seasoned performer, Nikki reflects on her experience performing at the Fringe Festival and the highlight of her career, a friendly gig in Mandurah. Despite the nerves, Nikki uses mindfulness techniques to calm herself before going on stage and shares a hilarious story of facing a heckler. Along with stand-up, Nikki has taken on a tattoo apprenticeship and reveals the story behind her first ink, a Chinese symbol.

But this episode is not just about Nikki's career. Nikki also opens up about her love life and her decision to give "green flags" a try after a history of attracting "red flags." However, even the promising start with a man sending poems took a suggestive turn. Nikki also shares how being a comedian and a mother of three gives her plenty of material for her comedy.

Nikki also touches on the delicate subject of comedians making jokes about sensitive subjects and how she chooses to focus on self-deprecating humour. After the gig, Nikki reflects on the attention she sometimes receives from men and shares a funny encounter with a fan. Tune in for a fun and insightful episode with Nikki Valentine.
