In this episode, I sit with Comedian, Quiz Host and Corporate Trainer, Courtney Maldo (she/her), otherwise self-described as Perth's Punk Princess of Comedy.   We recorded this episode during Melbourne International Comedy Festival, IRL, from Naarm, which was a real treat!   We discuss Courtney's next solo show Gender, Drugs and Rock and Roll, Courtney's exploration of herself before coming out, feelings of isolation in growing up in a rural area, how much can change generation to generation, theatre in highschool leading to Courtney's first fan mail, how being alive is just a phase, what “passing” means and how that is different for every trans and gender non-conforming person and that things get better: rocky starts happen but the journey is yours.

Rosie and Nicola Dempsey are otherwise known as the comedy music double act Flo and Joan. The two previous times they've been on this show, Nicola's pieces of trivia were both about Andrew Lloyd Webber - and there was even a question related to Lloyd Webber in last year's episode - at the time, the depth of their knowledge about the man was somewhat surprising. But now we understand why, since they were writing their show One Man Musical which is about Andrew Lloyd Webber. They've just been performing the show for the last month, garnering a nomination for Most Outstanding Show at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival awards, which will be announced after this episode is uploaded.

Rapha Manajem walks into a bar. He picks up a microphone. Amidst the deafening roar of mostly oblivious pub-goers, he manages to entertain two or three people. And for some reason, he keeps going back.Now he's a big shot with a recurring spot at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, opening next week. He also just so happens to be a fellow comrade and passionate Labor volunteer and campaigner, which makes him the perfect guest for us.From an awkward encounter with Chris Bowen, to a somehow even more awkward encounter with Dan Andrews, Rapha's got plenty of stories. But it's not all jokes. Rapha shares his perspective on being “diverse” in Australia, being Jewish in a fraught time, and the absurdity of answering for an identity you didn't choose. He also turns the tables on Stephen Donnelly and asks some fantastic questions about campaign organising!We loved this episode, and hope you do too.
