Wil and Charlie are still taking a break from TOFOP, so this week, enjoy this recent interview with Wil on Empowering Leaders with Luke Darcy.

From growing up on a farm in country Victoria to making it big on stage and screen, Wil shares the real story behind the laughs and sheds some light on the grey area of comedians crossing the line. They chat about everything from Wil’s early days idolising Billy Connolly, the hilarious story Wil told Billy when they first met, and how learning to deal with osteoarthritis while staying committed to the craft of stand-up is playing out. Wil talks openly about his creative process, the ups and downs of life in the spotlight, and why curiosity, mindfulness, and backing yourself all play a crucial role in his journey. It’s a wide-ranging, honest, and bloody entertaining conversation about leadership, resilience, and what it takes to stay true to yourself—on stage and off.
