Get Jerry on

Dan Ilic is a comedian and self  described investigative humourist who hosts 'A Rational Fear' a podcast recently awarded the title of Australia’s best comedy podcast.

Dan was also the Executive Producer of incredibly popular Australian skit shows 'Tonightly' and 'At Home Alone Together' and has a thousand other projects to his name.

On the show this week  Dan put a brand new spin on my billboard idea, had a unique new plan to get Jerry’s attention involving Porsche and had a great story involving Larry David at a party in America.

I also asked what it would take to get a free ad on his podcast and the result was surprising.

Daniel has performed in over 50 countries worldwide. His two hour long Netflix specials ‘Dark’ and ‘Jigsaw’ are streaming in 190 countries in 26 languages.

Daniel talked about the stupid way I convinced such a big name to come on this podcast and a chance encounter he had with Jerry Seinfeld plus he has a great suggestion to get Jerry on.

He also talks about the art of comedy, how many people he has forced to break up due to his rant about relationships on Jigsaw ( it's over 100 thousand) and what he has learnt about the business of comedy and the benefits of owning your own material.

I chat to New York based Australian comedian and cartoonist Jason Chatfield.  Jason talks about the different levels a comedian has to work through to play at the biggest comedy clubs in New York.  He  talks about the work and sacrifices it has taken to get to where he is at the moment and how close he is to the end goal.

Jason brings up some funny experience he has had involving the famous comedians table at  the Comedy Cellar and what happened when he ran into Jerry Seinfeld in Central Park.

He of course also has some great suggestion as to how I can get Seinfeld to come on this podcast, and he might even have some great contacts to help me get one step closer to getting Jerry on.

I chat to comedian and improv performer Marcel Blanch-de Wilt about how he approaches stand up comedy and his experiences performing across Australia and overseas and the differences between the two.

Most importantly we brainstorm ways to get Jerry Seinfeld on the podcast and Marcel has some creative ways to ensure we are one step closer to getting Jerry on the show.

I chat to comedian Bonnie Tangey about  her incredibly unique way of putting a set together that sure her finish runner up at the 2017 RAW  comedy national final just a few months after starting comedy.

Most importantly we brainstorm ways to get Jerry Seinfeld on the podcast and Bonnie certainly has some weird and interesting ideas.

I chat to Josh Garlepp, a man who makes some very funny and viral skits about how he got into making videos and most importantly we brainstorm ways to get Jerry Seinfeld on the podcast.
