n this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Knuckles welcomes comedian Nick Capper for a fast-paced yarn about stand-up, the wild unpredictability of small-town gigs, and the unexpected doors a viral joke can open.Nick starts by shouting out some of his favourite comics — from close mate Dan Rath, whose material either annihilates a room or clears it entirely, to the razor-sharp Luke Heggie, plus international inspirations like Dave Chappelle, Maria Bamford, and Tig Notaro.The conversation turns to Nick's friendship with fellow comic Andrew Hamilton (“Hamo”). Nick shares how a Proper True Yarn podcast mention helped turn a doomed Shepparton tour stop into a packed, electric night.

The Shepp gig ended in a classic country night out, complete with stories about dodgy strip clubs, inventive electricians dimming the lights for the dancers, and the unique party energy of rural Australia.Nick then talks about opening for US comedy star Matt Rife — a connection born from a viral bit about the urban myth of Marilyn Manson and Prince removing ribs to perform a certain act on themselves. Rife saw the joke back when he had only 30k followers, promised to work with Nick if he ever toured Australia, and followed through once his fame exploded into the millions.Throughout, Knuckles and Nick riff relentlessly — from self-deprecating digs at their own careers, to absurd rib-cage surgery extensions, to playful shout-outs to Gympie and Nambour.
