I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of these lands, the Awabakal people, on which we gratefully get to live and learn today.

I also acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and pay my respects to any elders listening in the past, present and emerging.

Today we sat down with Elliott Stewart, an Australian Comedian & co founder of the Newcastle Comedy Club (Newcastle's first dedicated comedy spot).

At just 23 years of age, Elliott is is about to release his first 1 hour comedy special, has toured the county, has co founded the Newcastle Comedy Club and has just dropped his own podcast called The Branching Out Pod.

We discussed Elliott's first open mike at just 17 on a taco Tuesday night at a local Newcastle bar, to seeing him at the Melbourne Comedy festival / head lining different venues around the country and doing Jiu Jitsu.

A very funny human, so follow him on the socials below:
