From flyering to friendship with Daniel Connell and Luke Heggie

26 minutes

Aussie comedy legends and longtime mates Daniel Connell and Luke Heggie have come a long way since they met - from humble beginnings handing out flyers for their Comedy Zone show in 2011, to sell-out tours across Australia. In this episode, Daniel and Luke express their deep hatred for flyering, explain what drives them to write a new show each year, and give us an insight into what their friendship means to them.
