In this episode I call my boss, Santo, and I tell him a joke.

Santo was one of my comedy favourites long before I started working with him, and I only admire him more now that I know him in real life.

Please enjoy one of my favourite Late Show sketches, Santo the Magnificent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3Xmp8De398

In this episode I call my friend, Lucy, and I tell her a joke.

I have to pretend to hate Lucy, because it would be embarrassing if she ever found out how much I actually love her. One of the worst (best).

In this episode I call my friend, Sara-Jane, and I tell her a joke.

The wonderful Sara-Jane is back for round two!

The "Percy" she's referring to at the start of the episode is an adorable sphynx cat - before I met her I assumed a sphynx would be aloof and cold and mean, but Percy is the most ridiculous and goofy creature on the face of the earth. You can see her on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/persephone_thesphynx/

In this episode I call my friend, Michael, and I tell him a joke.

Michael, or Wardy as everyone calls him, is one of the funniest people I know, and he's also one of the kindest. There's nobody in the world I'd rather work alongside on a 13-hour-middle-of-the-night shift, which is lucky, because we've done that together heaps.

In this episode I call my friend, Lidia, and I tell her a joke.

If you'd like to see a picture of Lidia, you can find it in the dictionary under "Practical and no-nonsense". Lidia is a total champion, and has helped me with so many adult things - from finding someone to install my air-conditioning, to buying a new car, to conflict resolution at my owner's corporation meeting. Get a Lidia on your side, you'll never regret it.

In this episode I call my kid friend, Arty, and I tell him a joke.

My excellent oddson Arty is back for jokes round two and, in case you were wondering, he remains the absolute best.

In this episode I call my friend, Lucy, and I tell her a joke.

Lucy is a lovely friend who once leant me walking poles when I was going on a big, long hike, and then she didn't get mad when I accidentally left one of them leaning up against a tree in the middle of nowhere on the opposite side of the country. Sorry again about that, Lucy.

Lucy is also the person who introduced me to the Alfie books by Shirley Hughes. If you do not know these books you need to fix that STAT: https://www.penguin.co.uk/series/alfiesh/alfie.html

In this episode I call my boss, Rob, and I tell him a joke.

Aside from being an excellent boss, Rob is also the reason I now reeeeeally like wine. When I was going on a holiday a couple of years ago, Rob gave me a book to read while traveling called Cork Dork, about a journalist who decides to get into the world of sommeliers. I thought it was going to be something I read a bit of just to be polite and so I could say I read it, but then I absolutely devoured it, and came home itching to appreciate wine. And luckily I had just the wine friend to help me on my way (it was Rob).

This is the book, Rob and I both highly recommend it:

In this episode I call my friend, Erica, and I tell her a joke.

If you can judge a person based on how much their tiny students love them then Erica is an actual angel on Earth. An excellent teacher and an excellent person, she can also skateboard so there is literally nobody cooler.

In this episode I call my friend, Jelly, and I tell her a joke.

I knew Jelly well before she knew me, because I followed her on Twitter for literally years before we ever met. She was funny and smart, and when she followed me back I felt like I'd really, properly made it. Anyway, I've since learned that she's also funny and smart in real life, as well as generous and loving and a brilliant teacher.

What a good.
