Kia ora!

My friends and fellow nominees Booth and Jak were crashing at my place this weekend. I happen to live by a podcast studio. Badda bing badda bang! We have another episode of The Other Day!

This was fun and honestly got me pumped to get back into it. Though a lot more chilled out than old eps.

Catch all our shows in May at NZ International Comedy Fest

Melbourne-based Legend Henry Yan is on the show.

This was during a little stop off he had in Auckland. We chat about how he ended up going over to Melbourne, winning the Australian Raw Quest and a lot about how he's thinking of comedy.

Cool guy, cool conversations, thanks for listening in.

This week we got the road dog, the Tim Burton of NZ comedy himself, Callum Wagstaff.

We talk about travelling all over the country doing comedy, Callum's unique point of view in comedy and a bunch of other stuff. Honestly this was a really nice chat with a very funny comic and hope you guys enjoy the show.

Hoh' Mamma Jamma - August 1-3

Part 2 is here! And I'm pretty stoked to be back.

Apologies early on, I'm recording the beginning and end with my phone but that is gonna be better the longer we go along.

This part of the episode is with three of my favourites. Megan Connolly, Jak Darling and Dan Boerman come together and we chat secret talents, times of the day, and all that good jazz.

Each of these acts will be performing their own shows coming up. If you wanna catch them

We are back! This may be episode 29 of The Other Day but we are making it number 1 of season 2!

The only real change is we are playing a few episodes recorded a little while ago as we catch up to the present time. But I didn't want people to miss out on some of the loveliest chats we had before this break.

The first was a preview episode between myself and a few of the comics happening just before the NZ Comedy Fest, with Joana Joy, Trent H. Baumann, and Viki Moananu. 3 of the most fun comics in the Wellington scene. Each of them had amazing shows in the fest and will all be busy in the Wellington scene again.

This was recorded alongside another interview with 3 more comics. So I'm putting this down as part 1 and sending out part 2 in a couple days!

Enjoy!

Stoked to have one of the most interesting people in the Wellington scene join me for this weeks podcast!

I'd known that Rachel had done a ton of travelling and wild experiences but it wasn't until researching and chatting with them that I got a vibe of how wild some of her life has been.

A guest I would love to have back to touch more of their life another time.

If you wanna catch the show they're promoting it is

Tickets available on the NZ Comedy Fest page

The Vanguard of Vaudeville himself joins the show!

Trent H Baumann is one of the most travelled and accomplished comics in the Wellington scene. Having a wild ride into the world of entertainment, starting out in the strip malls of Surfer's Paradise and going round the globe with his thoughtful and whimsical style of performance.

I really enjoyed getting to know a bit more about Trent. He and I have done quite a few shows in Wellington and you can see much more of his shows through MONFU - the production company he and his wife Sachie run in Wellington.

See Trent in the NZ Comedy Fest! 'Stop the Noise. Listen to the Music' - Wellington, 14-18 May, Bats Theatre

We welcome back the first guest to ever be on this show!

Itay and I had just finished a 3 night run at the NZ Fringe, which included a couple of wild nights. Each show with him is very different so I'd recommend seeing him anytime you can. His usual spot is The Classic in Auckland but you can see him each Tuesday at Il Brutto running a great gig down there.

If you're in Welly and wanna catch him he'll be opening for Jack Ansett - What's Everyone Having For Dinner? in the NZ Comedy Fest, or a crowd work show, 'Crowd Pleaser' only in Auckland.

Kia Ora we are back!

It has been a busy run of festivals and fringes and gigs. But what an episode to come back to!

David and Ocean are two of my favourite comics, both on and off the stage. They were down in Wellington for the NZ Fringe festival and I was lucky enough to be able to get them in the studio.

If you enjoyed this episode you can check out their NZ Comedy Fest shows coming up in May:

David Stuart - Good Breeding - 16-18 of May - AUK - 10pm, The Classic Studio

Ocean Denham - A Hot Girl and Her Suzuki Swift - 23-25th May - AUK - 9.30pm - Q Cellar

And of course I have my fest show coming up also

Hoh' Mamma Jamma

WLG - 7-11 May - 7.30pm - Bats Studio

AUK - 14,15,18 May - 7pm - Basement Studio

Sowmya Hiremath is Wellington's best stand-ups and nicest people. Everytime me and Sowmya chat I end up learning so much more than I expected. This episode wasn't meant to end being so heavily revolved around arranged marriage but it was pretty fascinating to have it go that way.

If you wanna see Sowmya she has an upcoming show with Samantha Hannah called Sisters. Get your tickets at Fringe.co.nz
