Andy Moratis, comedian, musician, room runner, father – he’s had his fingers in many different pies over the years. We talk about his background in performing, his transition from musician to comedian, and now expanding into running comedy rooms. We discuss what attracted him to comedy, body language, getting into comedy later in life, what bookers are looking for and how comedy itself, as a reflection of society, is constantly changing and evolving. We talk about how comedy has changed here in Australia. I also enjoyed talking about how our confidence, and how we carry ourselves, makes such a big difference in how others perceive you, especially an audience.

Andy is doing a show in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival called No More Mr. Nice Guy on April 7, 8, & 9 at the Rubber Chicken. https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2022/shows/no-more-mr-nice-guy

And don’t forget, my Comedy Festival show, Miss-Understanding, with Lisa Gatenby and Aarti Vincent. From April 12 – 17 at The Lantern Lounge, 108 Smith St, Colllingwood.

I play you out with one of Andy’s songs that we discuss in the podcast. A Bloody Good Riddance (Enjoy my Wife). I hope you enjoy it.
