In this episode, I sit with Writer and Comedian (and hopefully my future BFF) Alayne Dick (she/her). Via a disconnected mic on my end and a dodgy internet connection on Alayne's (but the show must go on, and go on it did, the content is worth it because Alayne is wonderful) we discussed Alayne's upcoming shows in Australia — bringing her show Purple is the Gayest Colour to Adelaide and Melbourne, people assuming we are straight, starting rumours about ourselves, Alayne's incredible ability to have zero celebrity crushes, alt comedy vs mainstream comedy, becoming the queer elder you needed when you were younger and why we should all be disruptive and weird with our art!

‘Hans' is the creation of Adelaide born entertainment journalist Matt Gilbertson. Boozier than Oktoberfest, more drive than a Volkswagen, and more sausage than a bratwurst convention, Hans is Germany's proudest export. An international superstar, sex symbol, accordionist and Berlin boy-wonder, Hans has been thrilling audiences around the globe with his own fabulous brand of award-winning comedy cabaret for over a decade, performing for everyone from Prime Ministers to Princesses and paupers to paper boys.In 2018 Hans won the hearts of 16 million Americans with his cheeky and electrifying song and dance routines on NBC's juggernaut TV series, America's Got Talent. 2020 arrived and Hans put his foot down on the gas of his luxury German four wheel drive as he accepted his invitation to return to the USA and appear on America's Got Talent: The Champions (NBC). Competing against the very best contestants from the US, Europe and the Antipodes, Hans made it through to the Grand Final and was declared one of the ten best entertainers in the world (no, really, look it up).Hans' original production of Hans: Like a German debuted to sell out crowds at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2019, winning the Best Cabaret award and followed by a nationwide tour. Now with an über spring in his step, his brand new show, Haus of Hans: Disco Spektakulär, premiered at Adelaide Fringe Festival 2020. It was his most ambitious production ever and became the highest selling comedy cabaret show at the festival, and the highest grossing South Australian production too. To top it all off, Hans took home the coveted Best Cabaret award for the second year in a row.On television you may have seen Hans on Eurovision: Australia Decides Live (SBS) and appearances on The Good Friday Appeal (Seven), Sunrise (Seven), The Today Show (Nine), Studio 10 (Ten), The Morning Show (Seven), Carols in The Domain (Seven), SA Weekender (Seven)…you get it, he goes where the money is.The STAGES podcast is available to access and subscribe from Spotify and Apple podcasts.

Walk to the northern end of the state fairgrounds on Underwood Street and you may hear an unusual sound coming from somewhere beneath the Sky Glider. Tucked between the National Guard and arrays of outdoor wood furnaces and boat lifts for sale is a field of colorful microphones and a sign flashing the lyrics to popular songs. The Giant Sing Along has been part of the state fair since 2011. And here's something you may not know: it was originally created by an art and design studio based in Montreal. What was originally planned as a temporary installation has become a staple of the fair. And there have since been two Giant Sing Alongs in Australia – at the Commonwealth Games and the Adelaide Fringe Festival. Melissa Mongiat, co-founder of Daily Tous Les Jours, spoke with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Van Badham and Ben Davison return home from their award winning run at the Adelaide Fringe Festival to discuss the NSW State Election, on March 25th, the issues, the leaders, the optional preferential system and the seats to watch. It is looking like a tight election but if NSW wants, as the polls are suggesting they do, guaranteed minimum staffing levels in hospitals, public schools that have resources for every student, wages that are going up and leadership that's focused on the issues that matter to everyday people then Labor should win. Of course UnionsNSW and the many affiliate unions that are made up of workers in sectors cut, smashed and abandoned by Perrottet's Liberals are campaigning and you can become a union member to protect your rights at work, whatever state you are in, at australianunions.org.au/wow In Victoria we suffered through a TERF-Nazi joint rally on the weekend. Van explains how TERFs are NOT feminists, are a vocal EXTREMIST minority and that Liberal MPs and Senators defending those associated with these individuals are putting a toxic set of values into our political discourse. Van and Ben offer their solidarity to members of the Trans community and all minority groups who would have, understandably, been concerned by the scenes over the weekend. The Voice is a step closer with the machinery of the referendum set to pass the parliament. The laws on how to run the referendum needed updating given we haven't had a referendum since the invention of social media! And there is good environmental news about the capturing of carbon which may or may not being able to supply every home with enough baking soda to ensure no fridge is ever smelly again! Van also acknowledges our Cadre and Extend the Reach Supporters who have gone to www.buymeacoffee.com/weekonwednesday and helped us grow our audience.

Van Badham and Ben Davison examine former Greens Senator for Victoria Lidia Thorpe's announcement that she is no longer a Green Party member but is now leader of "a grassroots Blak sovereign movement." They look at the commentary around her split from the Greens, events leading up to this moment, what "a grassroots Blak sovereign movement" might actually mean based on Thorpe's public statements and the implications for democracy and the Voice referendum. Thorpe's announcement, made standing alone in a hallway, came on the first sitting day of parliament for 2023 where a large number of issues are being debated, including more improvements for workers rights. You can join your union at australianunions.org.au/wow to make sure you get your proper wages and conditions. Dark Brandon (a play on a meme about Joe Biden) rose today as Joe Biden nailed the Republican's during the State of the Union Address. Van and Ben discuss how Qanon talking points, culture wars and performative politics have so consumed the Republicans that Biden was able to get them to publicly show support for social security and Medicare while their leaders accuse one another of horrendous crimes, ban books and want to legislate putting sugar in milk. Plus there is good news from the SEA about both hydrogen and plastics! Van also gives an on air promise to sign copies of her book Qanon and On for anyone who comes to see the Week on Wednesday LIVE! at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/the-week-on-wednesday-live-with-van-badham-ben-davison-live-podcast-af2023 There's also shout outs to our supporters who have gone to www.buymeacoffee.com/weekonwednesday including special ones for a new arrival to Australia and an Extend the Reach supporter who has become Cadre!
Ben Davison reviews the return of the ABC's flagship political discussion show, Insiders. As host David Speers manages to make incredibly dismissive off hand comment about the Robodebt Royal Commission and another panelist waves off the only first nations panellist's views about the situation in Alice Springs Professor Megan Davis patiently explains that The Voice referendum is about principles, not details. No one knows where the offices will be or what colour the business cards might have on them but we do know that the launch of the YES campaign is happening while Ben and Van Badham will be doing the Week on Wednesday LIVE! at Adelaide Fringe Festival (tickets here: https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/the-week-on-wednesday-live-with-van-badham-ben-davison-live-podcast-af2023) and our hosts hope to give you a report back in a future episode. Ben looks at the Chifley Research Centre conference in Canberra where Albo has defined the referendum as being about two principles; Recognition and Consultation, Tony Burke has outlined the next phases of workplace law reforms and Jim Chalmers has built on his excellent Monthly essay where he essentially argues that society and the economy are two sides of the same coin. Ben explores what that might mean in the context of the inflation challenge, falling living standards and record profits in some sectors. Yesterday was World Cancer day and Ben reminds us why union safety standards are so important; 1 in 10 cancers around the world are due to workplace exposure to hazardous material.

She also gives us a huge hit of nostalgia with lots of chat about Country Road school bags and Angela Anaconda, and hilariously describes the way 12-year-old boys try to troll her online. Be sure to check out Samantha Andrew's comedy show ‘SHIT-WRECKED' at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
