One of the best films ever made had one of the most problematic pieces of special effects. A clunky, robotic shark which broke down more often than it worked. But thank god it did - otherwise we wouldn't have the piece of theatre that is: The Shark is Broken.

On this episode, the three stars of the Australian production of The Shark is Broken test their wits against the quiz.

Two actors, both alike in intellect, in fair zoom meeting where we lay our quiz.

That’s right my friends, we’ve gone full Shakespeare for this one because this episode's guests, Charles and Josephine Mayer, live and breathe the Bard.

Their theatre company - which is named after a quote from the Scottish Play "Come You Spirits" - has for the last few years been producing exclusively the works of William Shakespeare in some wild surrounds - including on board a tall ship sailing on Sydney Harbour, the sands of a riverbank and atop a Full Scale Granite Replica of Stonehenge in Western Australia.

It seems almost pedestrian that they’re about to perform their pared back Romeo and Juliet in an actual theatre!

Widely considered the nicest person in showbiz, Claire Hooper is a delight on this episode.

Her latest hour of comedy is called Fun Show - see it as part of the Sydney Comedy Festival at the Enmore on this Saturday 5pm and Sunday 4pm - perfect for those of you who may’ve forgotten to get anything for your mum for Mother’s Day.

Two of the three actors from the current Australian tour of the Yasmina Reza hit play Art. Damon and Toby have both done an episode or two of this podcast before. Clever chaps the pair of them.

This pair are two of my favourite guests to have on the show. And I'm so grateful they're back for another go after hitting the highs of a residency in Las Vegas!

See their shows if you possibly can. They're both somehow whip smart and totally stupid. A perfect mix.

One more week to go of The Melbourne International Comedy Festival!

Always a lot of fun, Chris and Luke have been on every season of the podcast (except for season one) to talk about their shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Two comedians at the top of their games. See them whenever you can.
