Tonight (and I do mean tonight, this is very fresh) we talked with brilliant improv veteran and slightly newish stand up Amy Bird about the differences between the two disciplines, her interest in fraud, our ADHD, all of the shows she’s got coming up and some really serious issues around the safety of the NZ Comedy scene for women, and why men should just shut up sometimes… It may seem hypocritical for two blokes with a podcast, but Mat and Darran agree. Shut up fellas.

To Aotearoa New Zealand, Mexico, and the racist pubs in Nevada; Auckland comedy legend Ed Rivera needs no introduction. In this bumper second episode of season two, Auckland’s third most popular Mexican comic tells Mat and Darran about his journey to New Zealand, and his growth as an international comic in both English and Spanish.

If you speak English, this episode is almost entirely in English. For Spanish speakers, it’s also almost entirely in English.

What a journey!

In this messy and poorly hosted episode (thanks Mat D!) Darran and Mat talk about Coombe and friends with the Christchurch / Auckland Power-house duo and Only Fans money makers Craig Westenberg and Matt Coombe.

If you want to learn more about how to support patients suffering with snake aids, and you can get to Christchurch on Friday 27 November at 8:30pm, you should consider buying tickets (and maybe even turning up) to Coombe and Friends.

If you want to find out more about Craig and Coombe’s most embarrassing moments or why Coombe is big in Hawaii then listen on.

In this episode (recording in the lovely little theatre behind Garnet Station in Auckland), Darran and Mat were fortunate enough to be joined by Auckland comedy producer (and New Zealand First voter) Ian C Ireland, ACT candidate Michael McCook, and Musician, stand-up, improviser, and Green voter Joel Vinsen; for an indepth and entirely serious review of New Zealand’s preliminary election results.

In this rapidly dated episode (it’s like a ripe avo - listen now!) Mat and Darran talk about what the next parliament might look like, winners and losers, what next for the parties represented on recent episodes, the results of the referenda, and Mat’s gay porn double.

It was recorded in the backyard of a pub, so there is a bit of background noise that we just couldn’t filter out. Sound engineers will be annoyed.
