Not many comedians can claim the sheer speed of success that Jack Levi, aka Elliot Goblet, has enjoyed. Spotted by talent scouts only 10 months into his career, Jack's round glasses wearing character quickly became a regular face on Australian TV, namely Hey Hey It's Saturday, The Big Gig, and the Midday Show. His character's catatonic, monotonal one-liners also quickly became recited across Australian workplaces and schools, making his look and sound embedded in Australian comedy history.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, Jack Levi talks about being discovered, Daryl Somers, writing material, and his move into keynote speaking and MCing events. And Don't worry, I'm talking to Jack, not Elliot, so the interview is upbeat and exciting.

Louis Pasteur, the famous French scientist, once said 'Chance favours the prepared mind', when describing how he was able to see opportunities that others had not. The same is true for comedians, as you will hear from this enlightening interview with Marty Wilson.

Serendipitously thrust into comedy via a comedy leaflet, and encouraged to launch a UK comedy career through a chance encounter on a flight with musician Jimmy Barnes, Marty's mind was prepared for these chances and so he took them.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast interview, we discuss Marty's life as a stand-up, his transition into keynote speaking, and how he combines comedy with topics on resilience, workplace motivation, and general mental health and well-being.

Sometimes the best way to try something new is to jump into the metaphorical deep-end. That was the case for Sonia Di Iorio, who decided her entry into stand-up comedy should be at Raw Comedy in 2009. Unfortunately, she forgot the jokes. Eight years on, Sonia has performed solo shows at the Melbourne Fringe Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF), and has appeared in a number of TV comedy shows.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, we discuss introverts, being single, and bad habits of comedy. We also discuss Sonia's upcoming gigs at this year's Melbourne Fringe and her musical show that she hopes to launch at Perth Fringe and MICF 2018 - fully dressed I should add.

When you hear the name Anthony Ackroyd you might recall loud shirts, The Big Gig, Hey Hey It's Saturday, or Kevin Rudd. Either way, you'll have a smile on your face. For 35 years, Anthony has been making Aussies laugh, on stage, screen, and in stadiums, with his witty humour, impersonations, musical numbers, and the occasional slapstick. Today he's even taken his comedy skills, and applied them to helping companies become more resilient, through healthier and happier staff.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, we discuss band break-ups, serendipity, neurotransmitters, and dodgy politicians. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, then you'll thoroughly enjoy this episode with the man that 'stresses less, and laughs more', Mr. Anthony Ackroyd.

Nick Capper is one of the nicest stand-up comedians you'll ever meet. In fact Nick believes being nice is one of the most important qualities for success in stand-up - although he admits it's often hard to practice, since the industry can get personal.

Born in the tiny town of Boomi and educated in a boarding school in Tamworth, New South Wales, Nick first started performing stand-up comedy in Sydney before moving to Melbourne and becoming a regular headliner and MC.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, Nick Capper discusses MCing, starting powerfully and learning to be humble. He also sheds light on how Lawrence Mooney got that black eye at the Perth Fringe.

Not many teenagers know what they want to be in life. And if they do, they most certainly don't declare to the world they want to be a stand-up comedian. But to the horror of his high school careers counsellor, that's exactly what Ben McCarthy did. With a little bit of serendipity, and a single focus to get up on stage, Ben, now aged 21, has already performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) and completed a comedy tour of Australia.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode you'll learn why Ben embraces bombing on stage, how he writes new material, and how random chances turned into an Australia wide tour. His story, while very fresh, is inspirational.
