It's a paradox, but some of the best comedy can come from difficult and challenging times. This has certainly been the case for Doug Chappel - born on the metaphorical wrong side of the tracks and witness to crime and abuse first hand, Doug was able to focus his attention on the lighter side, and is now one of Australia's busiest comedians.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode we discuss Doug's relationship with the notorious Mark 'Chopper' Read, performing at over 20 Melbourne International Comedy Festivals (MICF) and surprisingly why getting out of Melbourne during the festival can help, not hamper, a comedy career.

If you lived in Australia during the late eighties and early nineties, then no doubt you know George Kapiniaris. An actor by training, George, or Kappa or G-Kap, as he is known around the block, first played the serious part of 'DJ' in The Flying Doctors before creating the comically slapstick character Memo in the stage show, 'Wogs out of Work', and later TV show, 'Acropolis Now'.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, George discusses stereotypes, playing characters from the underworld, rules of comedy, and his upcoming tour, Straight Outta Compo. He also sheds light on the term 'Skip' and how he flipped bigotry on its head, making this word part of the Aussie lexicon.
