So Here's The Idea With Shad Wicka (SHTI)

Douglas Harvey is a comedian based out of Perth! He has an awesome podcast called Hyper Maniac Noize and he dropped in for a chat about Perth comedy, safe rooms, his experience with Mental Health and Comedy. He once jumped up on stage straight after getting out of the hospital! Maniac! Also some fun chats about Amsterdam adventures!

The podcast is going to be switching up format soon! I'll be going a bit broader switching things up to Chats with people in my life that I find funny and I'm positive you will too! They will be from comedy, radio and life in general plus there will be some regular guest like Richo aaannd PETER JAMES! In classic Peter style, he comes onto the podcast wanting to talk material! Even though we are moving away from that format! Jerk! Anyway here are some fun chats about his upcoming TED TALK! Yep! And a very special xmas story

No material writing sesh this week! Been crazy busy with gigs and the new show announcement. 

So I had Peter James in for a fun catch up so please enjoy!

Dell Beckman is a Comedian, Actor and Parking Fairy? Dell is only a couple of years into his stand-up comedy journey but out of all the people I have met on stage he is by far the biggest heckler magnet. We go through two really fun pieces of material in this weeks episode and at the end of the chat we even get the story of Dell losing his virginity! I sense another bit developing!

This week's ep features our first comedian from beyond the Far North Queensland scene - Jacques Barrett! I sat down with Jacques before his final show in Cairns as part of a Far North Tour with Guilt Free Comedy. We were joined by Richo (from episode 2) for a really fun chat. Jacques gave some great tips on how to write material, some basic rules/skills you can employ when working on a joke and also an insight into his life on the road. Barrett is essentially the Aussie equivalent of a pro road comic, he chats about what you need in order to pursue that area of stand-up comedy and also why he does it. Plus a bunch of stories are shared and lines are crossed. Check out Jacques in his home base of Sydney at Laughter Works Drinks gigs and a heap of others. In fact, he's probably coming to a town near you! ENJOY!

The Stand-up Comedy Podcast where new material is born! Andi Egan is this week's guest, I met Andi when we both started performing stand-up comedy in Darwin and now she has followed me to Cairns like some kind of crazy sex hungry stalker! NO! She is now living in Cairns working in events and theatre plus getting back up on the comedy stage in a new town. We chat jokes, South American prison theatre, Kyle Sandilands gets a mention and testicles dragging on buttocks plus plenty more! As always two sets somehow see the light of day and you get to hear the results at the end of the ep! Enjoy, Subscribe, share and let me know what ya think!

One on body image and the other about accents.

This week I sit with Steven Poon who has just ticked off 1 year of open mic comedy! Poon is one of my favourite guys to watch, his cynical (which I love) and takes aim at the strangest targets (Beauty and the Beast) In this episode he talks about his family's life running food trucks at festivals, building an hour, trying to maintain the fourth wall on stage, racial jokes, who can say them and why? Listen to how our new sets work out on stage after the chat. Poon reveals a depressing but funny moment in his life and I write a piece about trying to be manly in Australia. New episode out every TUESDAY so subscribe!

The Comedy podcast that tries to write stand-up each week!

So Here's The Idea with Shad Wicka and this weeks guest Clare Morgan! I've known Clare for a while now and in this episode, we go through the writing style that she began using at the beginning of her comedy life - writing her sets word for word - to how she writes now. We also have a quick chat about equality in open mic line-ups after a little moment in the Cairns comedy scene. Also, we finish up with two sets performed after the podcast - Clare's Will - Shad's Multicultural Food. Clare also runs her own room now, Little Death Comedy, so check it out if ya in Cairns! Hey, want a free Guilt Free Comedy hat?? Leave a nice review! I'll give one to a reviewer at the end of June. Just remember to let me know you left one on my socials below.
