Recorded live at the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 05:40 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).For all our important links: https://linktr.ee/dogoonpod Check out our other podcasts:Book Cheat: https://play.acast.com/s/book-cheatPrime Mates: https://play.acast.com/s/prime-mates/Listen Now: https://play.acast.com/s/listen-now/Who Knew It with Matt Stewart: https://play.acast.com/s/who-knew-it-with-matt-stewart/Jess Writes A Rom-Com: https://shows.acast.com/jess-writes-a-rom-comOur awesome theme song by Evan Munro-Smith and logo by Peader ThomasDo Go On acknowledges the traditional owners of the land we record on, the Wurundjeri people, in the Kulin nation.

Join national treasure Shaun Micallef as he takes the stage to delve into this bitingly funny Victorian Gothic tale for the modern age. With Jacinta Parsons. Originally presented on Tuesday 31 March 2026 by The Wheeler Centre in partnership with Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Move over, Dracula, and take a number, Nosferatu: there’s a new vampire in town, and after several thousand years he’s realised that the trouble with immortality is that eventually … it sucks.To soothe his sickened soul, the Comte De’Ath embarks on a grand holiday. From psychoanalysis in Vienna to blood transfusions in London, the Comte learns that a change of scenery can do wonders for the eternally living. Along the way, he meets the Queen, helps win the Second Matabele War, nudges Henry Ford towards the American Dream and even manages to fall in love. But with his own funeral scheduled at Carfax Abbey, the real question looms: can he become mortal again in time to attend it? The official bookseller was the Sun Bookshop. Featured music is ‘Traveling again’ by Sarah, the Illstrumentalist.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A host of Melbourne International Comedy Festival comics gather to explore how comedy survives, thrives and occasionally lands a punch on authoritarianism. The powerful often say they have a sense of humour. This turns out to be true – provided the joke is about someone else. From public denunciations to legal action and intimidation, comedians across the world are increasingly required to work within narrowing spaces, where the right punchline at the expense of the wrong politician carries the risk of personal and professional consequences. When laughter is policed this closely, what does it reveal about the strength – and fragility – of power? Join host Tom Ballard alongside leading comic voices Bahaa Dabbagh, Leon Filewood and Sam Jay for a timely conversation on the role and power of comedy in an age of rising authoritarianism. This event was recorded on Saturday 28 March 2026 at The Wheeler Centre. It was presented in partnership with Melbourne International Comedy Festival Featured music is ‘Golden Hour’ by Sarah, the Illstrumentalist.

Think you know everything about bubbles? Think again. This episode might just burst your assumptions.

It's Russia's/Several other countries' Olga Koch! One of the world's best comedians and, as we find out in the episode, also a real bloody brainiac. Join the gang as we learn that we are definitely in para-social relationships, Kyran is very good at segues, and Rhys is trying to interview someone. A joy! Fwends!The Parasocial Deep-DiveThe core of the episode revolves around Olga's academic and personal obsession with how we form bonds with people we don't actually know.Defining the "Fwendship": Olga explains that the term "parasocial relationship" was coined in the 1950s regarding talk show hosts, but has been "turbo-charged" by social media and podcasts.The Intimacy of Audio: She notes that podcasting creates the most intense version of this bond because the host is "directly in your ear" for long periods, leading listeners to feel they are part of a "perceived inner circle".The Emotional Reality: Olga argues that even if a relationship is "imaginary" or one-sided, the emotional response (the dopamine hit from a message or the grief when a character dies) is biologically valid and real.SEE US LIVE AT MICF 2026We are bringing FWENDS to the stage at Comedy Republic for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival!

Anthony Locascio is a stand-up comedian, actor & podcaster. Since beginning stand-up in 2017, he has written and toured a new full-length show every year, with highlights including Don't Call Me a Wog! (2022), Heart of Darkness (2023), and the critically acclaimed Pappou (2024–25). Pappou toured twice around Australia and internationally to London, New Zealand, Canada, and New York, before being filmed at a sold-out Enmore Theatre and released on YouTube in 2025. His debut special Confirmation (2020) was distributed worldwide by Comedy Dynamics on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Anthony has sold out seasons at Sydney Comedy Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Perth Comedy Festival, and Brisbane Comedy Festival, and was hand-picked for the prestigious Sydney and Perth Comedy Festival Gala showcases in 2021 and 2022. Alongside his live work, he has appeared on Triple J's Hack, SBS Sport, beIN Sports, Today EXTRA on Channel 9 and Sunrise on Channel 7, and performed or hosted major events including the Greek Festival of Sydney and the Italian National Ball. In 2025, he also curated and hosted the inaugural Greek Australian Comedy Gala and the Italian Australian Comedy Gala. Self-managed from the start of his career, Anthony has built a loyal following online and on stage, working across comedy clubs, community festivals, corporate events, and screen projects for brands such as Nando's, NexGard, and Pedestrian TV. His mission is to challenge clichés around "wog comedy," representing his Greek and Italian heritage with a modern, nuanced voice that resonates far beyond those communities. Divine Comedy is now out! Blurb below: World Tour. Sold-out Enmore Theatre. Dream wedding on the horizon. 2025 was set to be the best year of Anthony's life - then everything fell apart. With his heart in ruins, desperation (and destiny) pushed him into a Vipassana meditation retreat. The Divine Comedy is the story of ten gruelling days of silence, where Anthony journeyed to the depth of his mind and battled the hive of evil clowns behind his lifelong misery, and somehow returned with his soul intact. We chat about acting, 10 day silent retreats, radical honesty and accountability, love of musicals, integrity, pain, misery, honesty and suffering, acceptance, big mindset and mental shifts, love of musicals  + more!

 Johnny Mac reports on a controversy involving Tonight Show warmup comic Seth Herzog, who drew backlash during a Guggenheim Museum BTS taping after asking “anyone here from the north,” which some interpreted as a North Korea reference; TMZ says he apologized and was replaced by Ryan Rice for the subsequent Rockefeller Center taping, though it's unclear if related. The episode notes Seth Meyers is taking three weeks off until April 20 and Jimmy Fallon two weeks off starting April 7. Cheryl Hines responds to Chelsea Handler's claims about buying a “toxic” $6M house from Hines and RFK Jr., saying she knew of no issues and suggesting Handler wants attention. Mack discusses a Deadline report on Netflix targeting podcasts, high talent costs, meeting audiences where they are, and whether carrying a weekly podcast could reduce incentives to buy comedy specials. Other items include Leanne Morgan throwing a ceremonial first pitch at Tennessee, a rumor Kelly Ripa is freezing out Howie Mandel, and Melbourne International Comedy Festival show recommendations. 00:19 BTS Warmup Controversy02:25 Late Night Shows Breaks03:06 Cheryl Hines vs Chelsea Handler04:23 Netflix Podcast Strategy06:42 Leanne Morgan First Pitch07:08 Kelly Ripa Freezes Howie Mandel08:23 Host Celebrity Encounters09:02 Melbourne Comedy Picks Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.
