Joy Taylor is a natural storyteller, she has more stories to tell than she has time to write them down. A podcast is the perfect outlet. Each week Joy will join her daughter Ginger or random friends who love to laugh. Every episode is a new side splitting
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
