Dan is joined by comedian and the face of Vanuatu tourism, Ray O'Leary in a really fun conversation! The most fun I've had on the show!

We chat about the story behind Ray's comedy outfit, becoming the face of Vanuatu tourism, the values of the modern age, the thought of acting, desires to write a sitcom. the collaborative nature of writing and sharing his stand up material with peers, the moment he realised stand up comedy could be a job, initially writing material down on his hand, making excuses not to do stand up, getting stuck in an office job, the Ray O'Leary "character", struggling to look at the audience, the goal of making comedy the day job, quitting his job, becoming a full time comedian, the crisis of confidence, feeling gratitude, the television appearances, the conducive environment on a Working Dog show, performing internationally, the stage name, filming his stand up special, persevering through bits, dealing with silences, nerves. and a whole lot more!
