What a ride on JOY Breakfast this Wednesday! Brett and LJ (with masked-producer Tim bravely pushing buttons) bring you laughs, drama, and dazzling guests.

US comedy superstar Matteo Lane phones in to chat about his brand-new show, why Aussie coffee is unbeatable, and why you’ll never catch him doing a shoey. Then Melbourne’s own Fabio Cataffigives us the inside scoop on his fabulous drag cabaret, A Night with Tina.

In between, the team serve up their trademark mix of chaos and camp – from emotional studio meltdowns, diva reconciliations, and Mariah Carey singalongs, to wall-mops, ibises (aka bin chickens), and gift-giving anxiety.

It’s all about big laughs, big voices, and big feelings – the queerest way to start your day. ☕
