A Funny Thing Happened

This episode I'm talking about my 70th birthday party that the kids gave me. To say I was blown away by the theme and the trouble that people had gone to is an understatement. It should be called A Night To Remember but that's taken . 

Ginger is in town and we talk all things Mickey Mouse and Gravy. 

So many funny stories of Ireland. Also if you are ever in Belfast and you see huge graffiti saying KILL ALL PRODS, run 

This story is too unbelievable and to be honest even I struggle to get my head around it all. The only thing is it is too good to be kept secret.

Something a bit different. I have written a book full of stories of my childhood and I have decided to read one of the chapters from it. I am really putting myself out there as this is not one of my funny stories. 

That time I joined in on a parade. 

Did we get into the Playboy Mansion or didn't we. You will have to listen to the end to find out. 

Gypsy has sailed off to a faraway land to work with crazy Pirates so I have to improvise. 

It's true I forgot to press the record button but its a very short funny listen anyway. We will do this podcast again I promise. 

That time I went to court and it turned into a fabulous adventure. Just call me JUSTICE girl,  it's my Super Power.

One of my favourite jobs I ever had was working for Mignonne Siemer at the craziest Indian restaurant you could ever imagine. 

A very alarming story about San Francisco alarms and why I did not want them.

Lost in Translation is all I have to say about this one.  I blame Sandy. 

The halloween committee tell more amazing tales from the Halloween parties.  

This podcast is slightly different from the norm as I had Gypsy and her friends in the studio to record stories from their incredible Halloween parties that span 15 years. They are hard to describe but we gave it a shot.  Hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed the parties.  You can find photos @ afunnythinghappenedpodcast on instagram.

That time Deane worked with Terry Jones on what might have been the next Life of Brain.  I love this insight into behind the scenes shenanigans. 

34 - This is a very short episode about a prank call that went terribly wrong. Hope it puts a smile on your dial. 

Joy tells a few funny stories about  twins in her family,  being a twin herself and buying talking eggs for the twins she minds. 

I was going to call this episode the Chris Isaak Chronicles but my husband Deane thought 'I DID A BAD BAD THING' was more appropriate and I have to agree. 

I have announced the winner of the Nightmare before Christmas illustration and an extra surprise.  There will be a second and third prize as well,  Deane has generously offered to draw a couple of extras, they will be smaller but no less fabulous. I have told one of my all time favourite stories right after so stay tuned. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER AND THE RUNNER UPS. 

When Willem worlds collide. Joy and Deane talk about the most crazy coincidence and how Deane doesn't want to name drop but somehow it happens anyway. 

Find out all of the behind the scenes excitement, Hollywood Divas and more. Joy interviews Gypsy Taylor ( her daughter ) and does not expect her to be so forthcoming. This is such a good insight into the world of film, theatre and practical jokes. 

My interview with Deane Taylor talking all things Nightmare. We talk about Tim and Helenas house in London. Deane's trip to Japan to do the Nightmare game and lots more good stuff. including lots of never before told stories.. 

I had the pleasure of interviewing my husband Deane Taylor about being the art director on Nightmare before Christmas. No holds barred, all questions are on the table and I answer listeners questions as well. 

The time at Anifex when I worked on the reception desk and all hell broke loose. 

That time I made secret sexy underwear for the Nanna in the Schmackos commercial. 

One of my favourite stories happened when our son Eddy decided to put on a big red foam nose for the school photo. What happens after is just a comedy of errors. It's a family tradition, no really. 

My Aunti Vi and Uncle Tom were head keepers at The Adelaide Zoo and I have very vivid memories of visits with them and my monkey cousins.

Another episode of Deane's renovating skills. Disaster or art, you decide. 

That time Joy dressed Leon up for Bastille day in a beret, stripe shirt and red scarf much to the amusement of Leons owners.

Joys morning started off so funny she just had to do a podcast while she was still laughing.  No birds actually died in the making of this podcast. 

Deane's renovating skills verses my tech skills. I win!!!!!

Joy shoots the breeze with her sons best friend Maddison. They talk a lot about Joys favourite things, practical jokes and food fights. 

Joy quizzes Joey about the time she danced with Price Charles. 

Joy has a laugh with her friend Joey Moore about the time Joey mistakenly picked up the wrong person in her car. 

Joy explains to Ginger what happened to her dad when he was young.  A name you will never forget. 

Joy becomes creative and tries to get back the cafe owners that regularly give her grief. In a good way. 

Gingers brother gets into all sorts of mischief and Joy has a small fall from grace. 

Joy and her family are living in San Fransisco and right before they go home to Australia the unbelievable happens. 

The best practical joke Joy ever played.  It's so good it may just be the funniest episode.

Joys practical joke back-fires and she comes undone. 

A very embarrassing episode. Ginger tries to hold back but it's clear that she is mortified by her mothers behavior. 

Joy has never been the best cook but this episode really does take the cake. 

Joys encounter with a ghost leaves her shaken. 

This hilarious episode is about Joy accidentally doing drugs. 

Joy explains to the very horrified Ginger why she has no sense of danger.

Joy visits New York City with her friend Michelle and they both think Joy is dying. 

Ginger interviews her mum and they try to explain why something funny happens to Joy on a daily basis.
