Adelaide-based Kim Le is one of those annoying high achievers. A qualified psychiatrist, Kim is also a blackbelt, speaks multiple languages, is an awarded keynote speaker, and now he's excelling in stand-up comedy. He's also a graduate of the School of Hard Knock Knocks and was the middle bracket at the most recent Adelaide graduation, alongside Glynn Nicholas and Gerry Masi (aka Mad Dog Malcolm).

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast, Kim and I talk about his new open mic room, the 'Comedy Clinic', his upcoming comedy production, 'Pho Real' - an all Vietnamese-Australian comedian lineup with Lee Ton and Loc Tran on the October 26, and, just to emphasis how annoyingly gifted this guy is, we talk about his invitation to perform at next year's Adelaide Fringe Festival's 'Next Generation' comedy show. And he's only been doing stand-up for five months.

And, if like Kim, you'd like to kick start your stand-up comedy career with the School of Hard Knock Knocks, then this is your month - assuming you're in Melbourne. Aussie comedy legend, Greg Fleet, is our guest comedy coach, for the September 23 - 27 course. But don't dally - we're only days away.

If there's a single take away message from this interview, then it's about embracing change. British born comedian, Jeff Green was at the top of his game in the UK, performing as an equal with comedy greats, featuring on TV and radio, and even living next door to Ricky Gervais. His career, fame, comedy connections, and bank balance were bigger than a London double decker.

And then things changed.

In this podcast, you'll learn how Jeff rolled with the punches, rebuilt his comedy career from scratch half a world away in Australia, and, by his admission, become a better comedian.

"Do what you've always done and you'll get what you've always got", is Jeff Green's mantra, and if you're looking for inspiration, as an new comedian, or with life in general, then I'm sure you'll thoroughly enjoy this interview.

And if you'd like to meet Jeff and get personally coached in stand-up comedy, he's our guest comedian for our November 25 - 29 stand-up comedy course in Melbourne.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so don't miss out.

Dave O'Neil has been performing stand-up comedy for an incredible 29 years. It was only fitting that a TV show about his life should be made, and in this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast Dave and I talk about producing 'Dave' - the show about 'Dave'. We discuss the politics of the TV world, casting stand-up comedians as actor, podcasting, and the financial benefits of bring a comedy writer and not performer.

And one more thing, Dave is most certainly NOT starting his own stand-up comedy course. Not that I was worried. In September we have the incredible Glynn Nicholas and Greg Fleet, at our Adelaide and Melbourne stand-up comedy courses, respectively. If you'd like to get along and get coached by two of the most experienced comedians in Australia, who aren't Dave O'Neil, be sure to log onto www.schoolofhardknockknocks.com.

A wig, flairs, and a fake moustache, and Mad Dog Malcolm Cummins was born. The creation of Adelaide comedian and musician, Gerry Masi, Mad Dog is part crooner, part playboy, with a light splattering of sleaze. Together, he's a hilarious 1970s character, that is all too familiar.

In this interview we talk call backs, one liners, getting away with 'inappropriate' humour, his band, Lucifer's Lounge, and being a comedian in Adelaide.

If you're a lover of character comedy, like Elliot Goblet, Bob Down, and Helen Bidou, then you'll love this interview with Gerry Masi. You'll also be excited by the news that Gerry Masi is our guest comedian for the September 9 - 13 stand-up comedy course in Adelaide. Get coached in a supportive environment, with guest comedian Gerry Masi, and resident comedy coach, Glynn Nicholas, over five evenings at The Archer in North Adelaide.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast we talk drug abuse, mental health, the Messiah Complex, and bringing light to dark topics. We also talk comedy, like how to promote yourself as a new comedian.
