Ep 122 Cal Wilson - I've gone to a lot of trouble

I’m not sure whether you’ve ever tried Improv before. But today’s guest shares what are probably some of life’s greatest lessons she learnt from the improv stage - say yes, figure it out along the way, and the art of working with others - all in the name of chasing the laughs.

I’m Ali Hill and welcome to Stand Out Life a podcast dedicated to living boldly amongst the busyness.

Comedian Cal Wilson came across the Tasman from Christchurch in 2003 and has gone on to become one of our most popular comedians.

Her work has seen her on our fav TV shows such as Spicks and Specks, Good News Week, Thank God You’re Here, and more recently Would I Lie To You? Have You Been Paying Attention? and Hughesy We Have a Problem.

Despite an aversion to the great outdoors, Cal bravely joined the cast of I’m A Celebrity,,,Get Me Out Of Here! in 2022 which saw her take on all the usual hair-raising challenges and biblical amount of bugs the series has to offer. Unprecedented times called for unprecedented adventures and at the very least some good material.

A gifted storyteller & writer, Cal was invited to join the writing team for the 2022 BAFTA Awards ceremony

Cal continues her national touring and is returning for her 8th year as the Melbourne live show host of the worldwide smash-hit storytelling podcast The Moth.

You can see Cal perform her brand new show I’ve Gone To A Lot Of Trouble at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2022, and then taking this show on the road to Brisbane.

Filled with insights around kindness, generosity, saying yes this is a conversation you’ll enjoy. Soak up the wisdom - because you know she went to a lot of trouble - Cal Wilson.
