Lizzy talks Harry Potter lego and I chat about overly masculine hairdressers. We also talk about self-tapes, The Office Australia, and the festival cycle.

Also featuring cameos from Thom, Justin, Ainslie, and Rusty.

Thanks to everyone who came along and The Theory Bar for hosting us.

Special thanks to Bren for producing the episode.

The sensational Hannah Camilleri is on the podcast this week. I chat to the Pinter Prize winner about her background of acting and clown training, and how it led to creating the smash-hit Lolly Bag (directed by Dylan Murphy.)

I was such a huge fan of her show so it was a delight to get to talk to her all about it. We discuss Gaulier, creating characters, international touring and more.
