Today's Two Words: FUNNY BUSINESS In this episode, I'm joined by Janet McLeod, the Fairy Godmother of Melbourne Comedy. Janet runs Local Laughs, which at 20 years, is the longest running comedy room in Australia with a sole operator/programmer...and one of my fave spots to perform. We discuss comedy in all its glory — what is comedy, really? What makes a great comedian? How do you filter out the a**holes to make comedy rooms safe workplaces? Janet shares all her magical insights and wisdom, much to our audience's delight. A special note: this episode was recorded a week before beautiful and kind Cal Wilson suddenly passed away. Cal is one of my comedy heroines and she introduced me to Janet after we met through The Moth storytelling community in Melbourne. One of my favourite Cal memories is performing with her at Local Laughs in 2018 and she gave me the biggest hug after I got off the stage. So special! In this episode, Janet and I speak of Cal's kindness. I'm grateful to have met and worked with her and she'll always be one of my faves.

Joel Temperly started doing stand-up comedy when he was teaching English in China. He's also lived in Moscow and has recently been to London to ‘hang out with some mates'. Joel loves to travel, and fortunately he ended up back in Melbourne just before the lockdowns hit back in 2020. He first hit the Melbourne Comedy scene back in 2019, and started his first comedy room in 2020. He's also an economist, believe it or not! We talk about how he started in comedy, his travels, his role as an economist, running a comedy room, learning not to take things personally and his new comedy room that has just opened up in Collingwood – The Gem. Joel himself is a gem to chat with, with heaps of interesting experiences and views on life and the world. Have a listen – it's a good one!

Nadine Sparks and I have been gigging together since Yes All Women's in 2014 at Station 59. With multiple Comedy Festival shows under her belt, years of gigging and working behind the scenes at the Comedy Festival, Nadine is a Melbourne Comedy veteran. She's been killing it! She crushed in Geelong a few weeks ago, crushed hard! We talk about her comedy journey, varying her material from raunchy to teacher material, how she chooses what material where, the fickle nature of the comedy industry, and how to carve yourself a piece of the pie even if you aren't noticed and supported by the “comedy powers that be”. Her experience and expertise makes this conversation a must for anyone wanting to create a career in comedy in Melbourne. We discuss the shallow side of inclusion, when diversity trumps funny, and how middle-aged women can be so easily dismissed, in comedy as well as the rest of life. We get right into it, we get passionate – you'll love it!! Nadine Sparks Instagram | Facebook Pradeepa Timmermans Instagram | Facebook | pradeepa.com.au | pradeepa.deep@gmail.com

The Tap House Hotel in Balaclava is a couple of blocks away, and I have often dropped in for a little comedy on Monday night. The evening is called “Local Laughs,” except during the COVID-19 lockdown, it's been on every week for 19 years. The longest-running comedy room in Melbourne! Judith Lucy, Dave Hughes and Adam Hills have all worked the tiny Tap House stage. A night at Local Laughs wouldn't be the same without its mistress of mirth and MC, Janet McLeod. Initially from Ballarat, and dubbed the Fairy Godmother of Melbourne Comedy, she is a writer, performer, trivia trailblazer and co-host of the popular Cinema Fiasco. Janet is also the producer of Local Laughs. "I was a shy child. It wasn't until I started doing theatre sports, I started to loosen up. I found my crew" Janet McLeod More Info: https://linktr.ee/noelanderson Produced by Harlequin Ink

Andy Goodone has been a comedian here in Melbourne, and Sydney, since 1981. 40 years!! Amazing hey? It was fascinating hearing about how comedy, as we know it, was just starting come onto the Australian entertainment scene in the early 80s. He tells us how it all started, what it was like here in Melbourne back then, how the first Melbourne Comedy Festival started, who won the first Moosehead award, what the comedians and audiences were like back then and what it's like being back on the open mic. comedy circuit after all these years. This episode really is a treasure. Andy opens up and tells us the stories behind how comedy started here, who was involved, and what has evolved to bring us to where we are now, in 2021. He's like the Grand Daddy of Melbourne comedy, the man with The Voice, the comedian who has us crying with laughter, he's Andy Goodone. This episode was cut off prematurely, so there is no proper ending of the episode. But we certainly recorded a very decent podcast with heaps Melbourne comedy history, and now we can listen and learn about how it all happened, whenever we like. He is a wealth of comedy knowledge, having worked in Australian comedy for so long. If you haven't seen Andy perform, I can't recommend him highly enough!

Cal Wilson came across the Tasman in 2003 and has gone on to become one of our most popular comedians. In 2018, Cal was invited by Netflix to the Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal to record a Netflix Original Comedy Special which was released in early 2019. Cal was also in the writers’ rooms for the first two seasons of The Weekly with Charlie Pickering . In 2016, she landed one of her dream jobs as an ensemble cast member in Whose Line Is It Anyway? Australia alongside some of the country’s brightest improvisers. Cal (will) continue her national touring and is returning for her 5th year as the Melbourne live show host of the worldwide smash-hit storytelling podcast The Moth. 2019 also saw Cal become a very serious children’s author, penning two books called “George and the Great Bum Stampede,” and “George and the Great Brain Swappery.”

Janet A McLeod is a Melbourne-based performer/producer/broadcaster/writer with over 25 years of experience is the field of live comedy. As a performer, Janet hosts countless trivia nights and events both live and online, and is co-host of cult-favourite movie comedy commentary show Cinema Fiasco (in which Janet and her double-act partner Geoff Wallis show B grade movies in cinemas and provide a running commentary as the movie plays - yes, this is as much fun as it sounds). As a producer, Janet's adaptability and attention to detail - coupled with a genuine love and understanding of comedy - has made her long-running comedy room Local Laughs (17 years) a favourite for established artists as well as an incubator for promising emerging talent. Fun fact: during lockdown, Local Laughs became the first regularly operating comedy room in Australia to do weekly shows live via Zoom. Janet's active championing of - and collaboration with - a large numbers of comedy practitioners has seen her dubbed "The Fairy Godmother of Melbourne Comedy". In this episode: We talk about comedy history in Melbourne, when you feel comfortable about calling yourself a producer, clarifying your role as a producer, working out what part of the role you will do, and more importantly, what you won’t do, and discuss the links between producers and lava lamps! Yes, you read that correctly. 

Caili Christian (@caili) is a Melbourne comedian and founder of the Comedy Women's Association, a series of female-only comedy nights. She also helped set up the Light The Way Home Fund to help vulnerable people in comedy get home safely from shows late at night in the wake of the Eurydice Dixon tragedy in 2018. She's been called an "angry, bitter, feminist harpy" by various morons online, but she is hardly that at all, she's one of the most giving and approachable people in comedy, and we had a great chat about everything that she's doing, and Melbourne Comedy in general. Interview starts at 15:55 Song: Person - Crackazat

Paco can't quite get into Bob Dylan although our guest has tried to turn him on to the canon. Comedian Tony Camin joins the Sup Doc gang to provide a Dylan fan's insight into the obtuse Netflix concoction Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2019).Netflix describes it as “part concert film, part fever dream” and an “alchemic mix of fact and fantasy.”“Rolling Thunder Revue” is an engaging but disorganized and long-winded account of the time in 1975 that Bob Dylan convened a vagabond caravan of musicians, poets, reporters, photographers, money men, and hangers-on to tour the United States in the lead-up to the country’s Bicentennial celebration. The tour was a bust financially and in terms of cultural impact. Nevertheless, the Rolling Thunder Revue rejuvenated Dylan as a musician, in the manner of Elvis Presley’s 1968 “comeback” special. And it generated enormous amounts of tour footage, some of which is reproduced here, within a highly conceptual framework, by Scorsese.Our guest Tony Camin has appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Real Time with Bill Maher, and lots of others that have been cancelled. He’s has performed at The Just For Laughs festival in Montreal as well as The HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, as well as the Melbourne Comedy festival in Australia. Tony has written for programs on NBC, VH1, and Comedy Central. In addition to being co-creator/ performer of “The Marijuana-Logues”, he can also be seen as a correspondent for “The Media Project”, on IFC, and was a recent contestant on NBC’s Last Comic Standing.Follow Tony:Twitter: @tonycaminFollow Sup Doc on:Twitter: @supdocpodcastInstagram: @supdocpodcastFacebook: @supdocpodcastsign up for our mailing listAnd you can show your support to Sup Doc by donating on Patreon.

Melbourne Comedy needs some new traditions, and Blake and I may have just come up with one while sniffing amyl in our kitchen at 4am on Sunday morning. Drinking has been affecting my mood lately, I reckon. It's annoying, I don't know how to say no to people. This week I yell about that a little too.

Jess Harris is the co-creator of the 'Twentysomething' - now screening on Netflix. Born out of the fear of not knowing how to 'be good at life' in her twenties - she and creative partner in crime, Josh Schmidt wrote, directed and starred in a no-budget series that went from community TV to the ABC - and even to flirtations with Hollywood. I caught up with Jess - appropriately raspy-voiced on the Monday morning after a big weekend - to talk about the highs and lows on her continuing journey of learning how to turn what she loves into a career.

Michael Shafar is a stand-up comic and writer for The Project on Network Ten. But this success hasn't happened overnight. Like most stand-up comedians it started off with bombing at his first open mic, and then two years of performing at every opportunity that presented itself. His next step was hosting 'The Leak' on community television station, Channel 31, before climbing the ranks to commercial television. In this School of Hard Knock Knocks stand-up comedy podcast, you'll learn how religious cynicism, disinterest in a law degree, and an unhealthy consumption of news, can lead to a great comedy career. And if you want to see Michael Shafar in person, his next show is at the Butterfly Club's 'Melbourne Comedy's Rising Stars' on June 3. He can also be reached at www.MichaelShafar.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
