Ahead of his massive tour, he joins Wil to explain the significance of his dog 'Missy Diggins', why he became a master of butterfly stroke (the most arrogant stroke), and his life-changing relationship with Greg Fleet. Sammy opens up about learning to love his "crooked smile" and how that — and growing up around addiction — inspired his love of comedy.Follow Sammy on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/sammypetersenunofficial/See Sammy live: https://linktr.ee/sammypetersenSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It now an occasional segment when stellar beverages are discovered. 00:03:02 Greg Fleet, A Star Is Torn Greg Fleet, “the comedian who can act”, is back with a new play this Adelaide Fringe. That's how I began my 2021 review of Greg's previous play, The Twins, which I loved. This Fringe, he is back with a new show, A Star Is Torn, in which two stand up comedians meet, resulting in laughter, tears, and laughter. Greg, in A Star Is Torn, you play a "one-time king of comedy who is brilliant but is gradually drinking and drugging his way out of the limelight". Did you choose this autobiographical set of character traits because, when it comes to acting, you folloow the Stanislavski Method? Seriously, this play, The Twins, and an earlier piece, This Is Not A Love Song, all have very broken lead characters. What's your attraction to these characters? One thing I have noticed in your work is that when you have a character who is "drugging themselves out of the limelight", you put a lot of focus on how their actions impact those around them. Tears flow with your work. Do they flow in the writing process? Can you take us through the story of A Star Is Torn, and introduce us to your co-star, Krutika Harale? Your blurb says, "Stand-up comedy is internationally “sexier” than ever," why is this? And can you give us a potted history of the scene since you began? I am not a prude when it comes to explitives but I have a very low tolerance for comics who rely on vulgarity for laughs. To me, they're just scooping up the easy stuff. Ban them from swearing, and watch them flounder. Your thoughts? You go warts and all in your writing. Do you have any filter? I ask because I think I still have a parental filter at work in my mind. One step further on transparency. It's one thing to be personally open, but you also break down maleness. In reviewing your work with Ian Darling in Twins, I wrote: We might think that we primarily get “man stories” all the time due to white male privilege, but we don't. What we usually get is male bravado and posturing. The Twins takes us behind the veil and into the swirling thoughtscape of imposter syndrome, anxiety, questioning, and vulnerability that still exists in even the most privileged of people; well, at least those who allow time for reflection. Do you get pushback from "blokes" about your work, especially in the blokey world of stand up? 00:37:34 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have Walk by Emilie Kate. Emilie is making her Adelaide Fringe debut with Songs and Stories with Emilie Kate. The blurb for her show says, ‘Growing up. Absent father. Loving home. Country kid. Moving. Trauma. Self hate. Love. Broken heart. Moving. Loneliness. Self love. Moving. Falling in love. Moving. Getting everything you've asked for. Staying still. Living every single moment.' Sounds intriguing and satisfying. All the best to Emilie with her show, Sunday afternoons at My Lover Cindi, with an hour of original songs and stories.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a young boy, comedian Greg Fleet was faced with the sudden loss of his father. But when the reality of the situation finally hit home, he was left to confront more than a memory.
Comedian Tom Siegert got his comedy spark at the Gershwin Room in St Kilda. His muse was the legendary comedian Greg Fleet. Today, Tom’s an established comedian in his own right, having performed on TV and at comedy festivals around Australia, as well as hosting his own podcast, Good Banter, with fellow comedian Evan Hocking. In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast, host Steve Davis digs deep into Tom’s evolution from one-liner comedian to story teller, as well as his creation of the comedy character – The Suburban Footballer.

Greg Fleet is an Australian comedian, actor and writer. In this episode we discuss people stealing his material, the impact of his book about his own heroin addiction 6 years on and his amazing new theatre production The Twins. This episode of Thirty Minute Call is hosted by Joe Gleeson and presented by the Canberra Theatre Centre.
Greg Fleet - or Fleety to comedy lovers around the world - has been one of Australia's most successful comedic exports for almost four decades. For much of that time, he also lived with a devastating heroin addiction.The rap sheet of his many deceptions during the haze of his habit, included touring an incredibly successful show about his miraculous recovery. The only problem was, he was completely, desperately and hopelessly addicted at the time.From Rock bottom to rehab, to recovery and back again. From broken relationships to global success, to collateral damage across the board. And did I forget to mention, a father - HIS father - who feigned his own death? Yes, all of the above form the tapestry of Greg's extraordinary life.Heads up, Greg's been clean now for a number of years so if you call him a former junkie, he might bristle. But if you call him a reformed “heroin enthusiast” … he's likely to give you a hug and a guttural giggle.This is the story of Fleety…Please note that this episode of BRAVE JOURNEYS talks about illicit drugs and addiction and isn't remotely suitable for little ears.

Through those years, she's often had director Susie Dee alongside her. Their new play is called Runt. Also, The Twins reunites comedian Greg Fleet and documentary maker Ian Darling more than 40 years after they starred in a school play together and Opera Australia's new production of Bluebeard's Castle by Béla Bartók confronts the work's uncomfortable themes.

THIS IS A THROWBACK EPISODE In this episode of looking back, I found a chat that I have with Greg Fleet. We chatted about how we have met in Melbourne, Australia and how I was seeing Fleety as an elder in a friend's house. He reminded me how and why he stayed doing comedy ever since he had started doing comedy after peer pressure. He shares the story that he had share stage with some of the biggest comics that he had respected. I finally discuss with him about substance abuse. He describe how and what happened when he hooked on heroin and he reflects on why he stayed abusing heroin before kicking the addiction.

Interview 2 - Greg Fleet Veteran comedian and author of three books - Greg Fleet - joins Stella in a walk down (sketchy?) memory lane when comedy venues like The Last Laugh and The Prince Patrick were the 'Valhalla' of aspiring comics. During their shared experiences in the 80's, The Comedy Company and The Big Gig brought with them incredible television exposure for Australian comedians, who also made up the majority of the show's writers. So comedian to writer and author isn't such a big stretch. In a frank, revealing and sometimes heartbreaking sojourn, Stella and Greg meander through his experiences of grammar school, acting, hard drugs and a mysterious father figure. It's a heartfelt story of two very close friends (even closer in the early days ;>) (Apologies to Michael Collins, Jacinda Arden and Dave Taranto whose names were mispronounced during the show). Don't forget to check out the Stellavision website for forthcoming shows.

Rik Roberts runs the School of Laughs. But not in Australia. Rik is Kentucky born and now lives in Nashville, Tennessee, which will explain our two contrasting accents. As you can guess, like the School of Hard Knock Knocks, the School of Laughs is a stand-up comedy school. That's where the similarities end. Rik, in contrast to just about all of our previous interviewees identifies as a Christian comedian. In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast, you'll hear a unique perspective on finding the funny within the constraints of Christianity, and how being squeaky clean can be great for business - at least in the USA. And while I have your attention, the upcoming Melbourne and Adelaide comedy courses are filling up quickly, with guest comedians Joe White, Glynn Nicholas, and Greg Fleet. If you're interested in kick starting your stand-up comedy career, or getting your set polished from seasoned comedians, then be sure to sign up to our August and September courses - while you can still get the early bird price. Who doesn't like a discount?! Amen!

If you're interested in kick starting your stand-up comedy career, or getting your set polished from seasoned comedians, then be sure to sign up to our August and September courses - while you can still get the early bird price. Who doesn't like a discount?! Amen!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I managed to talk to Greg Fleet this time round. I told him about how I was shocked when he said hi to the new guys in the room. He told me the story that he had when he was in Singapore with Maria Bamford and the story about him meeting Sarah Silverman. He shares about his heroin addiction and how to deal with a friend with heroin addiction.

Greg Fleet is Australia's bad boy of comedy. On stage and off, 'Fleety' has made a name for himself for pushing the boundaries and living life to its fullest. TV, movies, theatre, breakfast radio, and twenty-nine Melbourne International Comedy Festival shows later, its hard to imagine how he had time for his now infamous drug addiction. But he did, because he's no ordinary comedian. Some might argue that in a sick way this curse made him even funnier. Coincidentally, 'sick comedy' also happens to be one of his fortes, as you'll learn from this episode. We know you'll enjoy this in depth School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast interview with the NIDA qualified, Daphne killing, zombie hunting, accidental comedian, known as Greg Fleet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ever wondered what it is like to have your life spiral out of control and then get that control back again years later? Probably not, but Greg Fleet sure does. Fleety is an institution on the Local Australian Comedy Circuit as well as very familiar to TV Comedy fans. Not only that the Nida Attending Thespian can also act out a scene. Join Lindsay and Greg as they chat Reclaiming Life, QLD Open Mic Rooms, & say G'Day to Craig Egan. Fleety does a bang up job at the Quiz too. #WYNWDYD Thanks for listening.

It's the comedy of life with some of the funniest fellas I know. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is underway and I’m more nervous about this festival than I have been since my first festival. To ease my nerves, I’ve organised some chats with a couple of members of my #squad. Tommy Little, Tripod, Al Murray, Peter Helliar, Wil Anderson, Greg Fleet and Dave “Hughesy” Hughes. This year I’m producing a show for someone else which I’ve never done before. It’s the first festival show for a brilliant lady called Shiralee Hood who won the Deadly Comedy award for Indigenous comedians a few years ago. Please enjoy, and then PLEASE book tickets to Shiralee’s show! http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/shiralee-hood-rock-the-boat-victoria-hotel-melbourne-vic/venueartist/156199/2199688 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We like stripping each topic down to its bare essentials and so it is in episode 55. Our first guest is movie producer/director/writer Wayne Groom, the man behind the cult classic, Maslin Beach, and who now is in pursuit of Cods. The story of the Cods from Murray Bridge, is a story about Australia's greatest ever sports team. In the 1910s and 1920s, this bunch of working class athletes, dominated rowing, winning Australian championships and ultimately heading to the 1924 Summer Olympics. It is an epic tale and Wayne needs some more funding to make this project happen. Will you dip in your oar? Meanwhile, we also remember the late Graham F Smith, a South Australian man who worked tirelessly for peace, emboldened by his belief that education, particularly the ability to question and challenge, was the key to empowerment and a better future for all. We speak with his widow, Léonie Ebert, who now heads up the Graham F Smith Peace Foundation. Learn more about this man and his legacy - and even pick up tickets for their September 20 fundraising dinner. Is It News? gets the professional treatment this week, with headlines researched and provided by The Advertiser's Greg Barila. Our wine is a warming Muscat, our music is from Tara Carragher, and along the way we discuss weird robberies in SA and a tale about free postage that wasn't really free. We also enter a television trio into the SA register and a TV show is up before the Adelaide Visa Council.
