#83 - Amos Gill - Politics Is a Joke (But Also Not)
🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Amos Gill — one of Australia’s funniest and most globally recognised comedians — for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and thought-provoking conversation about life, geopolitics, culture, and the absurdity of modern existence.
Amos has built a remarkable career from Adelaide to the world stage — starting as a runner-up in triple j’s RAW Comedy Competition and going on to host major radio shows, sell-out stand-up tours across Australia, the UK, and the USA, and open for comedy heavyweights like Jim Jefferies.
In this episode we dig into the realities of living between Australia and America, how comedy intersects with serious issues, and why laughing at the chaos of politics, war, and culture can sometimes teach us more than the news ever will.
We also unpack topics including freedom of speech, cancel culture, the war in Ukraine and Afghanistan, life on the road, and the stark differences between Aussie and American life — all delivered with Amos’s signature sharp wit.
This isn’t just another comedy chat.
It’s an honest, clever ride into the funny — and the serious — with one of the brightest comic minds going.
