The Friend Request

Broden Kelly (Aunty Donna) joins The Friend Request to talk comedy group dynamics, fashion mishaps, mole maps, solo projects, and why he might be trying to sabotage Aunty Donna from the inside (allegedly)... I mean, he's just doing solo stuff as well.

We also dive into The OG Crew, what makes someone “hot but not funny,” and whether this is, in fact, a sexy podcast (again—his words).

This week on The Friend Request, I’m joined by the hilarious Carlo Ritchie — comedian, improv performer, Thank God You’re Here cast member, and writer for the iconic kids show Play School.

We dive into the story behind his 15-year comedy partnership, the power of friendship that survives improv chaos, and yes... a truly unhinged game of F**k, Marry, Kill featuring Big Ted, Jemima, and Humpty. 😳

This week Chloe Maddren is joined by UK-based Russian stand up comedian Olga Koch!! Off the back of performing her show Olga Koch Comes From Money, Chloe sticks her nosey little nose into the details of what it is like growing up rich and boy oh, does Olga have some good goss. Mainly from the make-out parties at boarding school.

Hey cutie pies!! It's me on my own again this week except this time it was planned!!

Join me in the fort for a little bit of tea as I get stuck into listener stories about being ghosted. I also thought it could be cute to jump on Instagram live for a little ask-me-anything... Idk if it was cute so you tell me!

Love y'all!

Sorry the episode is late!!

This week we're joined by a proper friend, brilliant Sydney comedian Dave Henning! Chloe may or may not have treated him like a tv host in the 80's talking to their first queer guest simply because he's bald... But it was funny and they're real friends who are silly like that, PROMISE!

Please enjoy the episode and let us know if you're interested in joining the new church.

You guys!! I am so sorry but I don't have a proper episode for you today, instead I have a little tale of how I had a bit of a break down and left Melbourne two days early.

I talk about how the full cycle of being insecure and triggered with friendship stuff and how it all worked out. I think it's interesting and VERY on theme but also, so funny I say it'll just take a sec at the start... 20 mins later, you're all caught up.

Thanks for bearing with me you gorgeous cute sweet angels, I'll be back next week with a brand new episode!

A classic how to become best friends, starting with favourites and ending with a man behind a couch…

This week Chloe was joined by one half of the onscreen talent of Granny Flat Comedy, David Hoey and the two set out two become besties in one hour. Can they do it??? Ya, duh!

These two talk about comedy soul mates, the female gaze and how to be comfortable with affection.

This week Chloe Maddren is joined by the pillar of The OG Crew himself, it’s Akila baby!!!

Watch two friends go from kind of close to potential besties AND BACK in just over an hour!

For real, these two are talking childhood, flirting, and Akila ended up offering Chloe his own liver. What a man! 

Don’t let the friendship fool you but, as the title suggests… This week’s truth or dare caused the podcast’s first ever walk off. Enjoy!
