Pete Helliar thinks he met Rowan Thambar while working together on The Project - what he doesn't remember is judging the Class Clowns National Grand Final that Rowan was a finalist in years earlier. Rowan remembers it clear as day, as well as the life-changing advice that Pete gave him after the show. In this episode, the pair discuss their time working together on The Project, what it feels like working with the comedians you once simply admired, and why you shouldn't wear sunglasses on stage.
