From paying to be nominated for awards to getting your friends to write your reviews, it's not always easy to make it as a comedian in this country. Two of the best join John on this episode for their fourth time on the podcast - Luke Heggie has been described as “an efficient punchline machine,” while a reviewer called Chris Ryan “one of those rare comedians that are so good at what they do, they make comedy seem easy."

Usually, the guests on this show - mostly actors and comedians - tend not to have the answers to the sports questions, since the fields of theatre and sport tend to remain somewhat seperate. 

However Tristan Black and Anthony Taufa are currently starring in “Alone It Stands” at The Ensemble Theatre.

Written by the Irish playwright John Breen, it tells the story of the 1978 Rugby Union match between a tiny team of amateurs from the Munster Rugby club in Limerick up against the all-conquering New Zealand national side the All Blacks. The hilarious, moving and heart-warming play has a cast of six, who take on all 62 roles including players, wives, fans, both coaches and even the team dog.

As we do every year, the rules change for the final episode of the season. Now it is a competition and scores are very much kept (poorly)

The same core group has returned, Kate Jinx and Zoe Coombs Marr on one team and Dave Lawson is joined this time by Ryan Shelton stepping in for Sarah Snook.

There are forty questions to get through, so settle in and enjoy the chaos.

Thanks to everyone who has tuned in all year.

And thanks to Cindy MacDonald for writing the questions
