Podcasts about perth fringe world

Going to the Melbourne Flower Festival last year was what originally inspired me to host my Melbourne Comedy Festival show in a beautiful, bespoke space this year. I went back on Sunday and it was just as beautiful as I remembered, but I didn't enjoy it as much because I was busy worrying about ticket sales and money and comparing myself to my peers.   I'm having an objectively great festival. It's only been one weekend, but I've already sold more tickets across the run than I did in the whole of Perth Fringe World. I sold 251 in the first five shows alone. That's great! Those are great numbers. And I'm still not happy.   Last year when I didn't do a show at any festivals, and instead just worked a normal job and paid my bills - that was one of the happiest years of my life. It'd be easy to romanticise it and conclude that actually comedy is the thing that's making me upset here, but I know that isn't the full story. I know that the only reason I was able to let go of the grinding and striving for a year and be happy was that for that whole year I was dreaming of this time I'm living in right now.   Every day I drove the bus down the Great Ocean Road, when I was done talking about the stuff out the window, I would put the music on and drift off into fantasies of this run. The first show. The last show. The night I finally film it. The ending. New jokes... those fantasies got me through the year, and made it a very happy one, and now I'm here in that imagined future, and I'm struggling to enjoy it because I'm always wanting more! The irony is not lost on me... but I am having a nice time, I promise.

I'm back....ill never leave again i promise...i've my first solo next week at Perth FringeWorld so i'm podcasting to document the psychological trauma..

Season 3 continues... Oddy, Scott and Clint were at the Perth Fringe World opening weekend! Between them they saw Gods, Adult Only Magic Show, Dr Ahmed's Taste of Your Own Medicine, Briefs: Dirty Laundry and Happy Endings.

All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet.

Today I had a chat with award winning comedian & scientist Robyn Perkins who uses science to explain her shortcomings. We chatted about Robyn's story so far, how she uses science in comedy & her experience of climbing Kilimanjaro.Robyn Perkins effortlessly combines scientific research with personal stories from her ridiculous life (yes, she really did lose half of her pants on her first night on Kilimanjaro). And when life doesn't go to plan, Robyn uses her scientific background to explain why, whether it be a question of love and morality, decision-making or, now, competition and confidence, “blending science, comedy and a little hint of philosophy into an excellent show” (Scots Reviewer).Honing her comic skills on the British, US and now Australian comedy scene, the “exceptionally charismatic” (Voice Magazine) Robyn has tackled some of life's biggest and most emotionally charged topics on stage, and brought them right back to the audience with personal, relatable and hilarious real-life anecdotes. This has brought her international success, winning Sydney Fringe's Comedy Award in 2019 and was a weekly winner of the comedy award at Perth FRINGE WORLD in 2020.

I'm bringing a Work In Progress to Fringeworld from Tuesday January 31st I'm also touring to Adelaide Fringe, Brisbane Comedy Festival & the Melbourne Comedy Festival @larajeffery mychoice.org.au taxpayers.org.au Australian Taxpayers' Alliance forum: Women In Politics Cause of the Week: Students For Liberty Australia & New Zealand (studentsforliberty.org/anz)  

Interview with Courtney Barnett’s number one fan Daisy Berry, who has been performing comedy for 4 years, including two Adelaide Fringe shows, and a MICF show in 2016.  If you’re planning to be in WA in January 2017, you can catch Daisy’s show at Perth Fringeworld. Also check out Daisy's new podcast, it's called Mad Chats With Daisy Berry. We discuss: Daisy’s “Am I Mental?” show exploring the notion of comedy as therapy, audience over-sharing and listening as best she can, Daisy meeting her Dad at age 16, flipping a coin and going with your gut, family traits, Daisy’s first comedy set, supposedly having an easy name to remember, Mad Chats With Daisy Berry podcast (listen now!), accountability for making judgments, portraits of Daisy as a snail, meeting Courtney Barnett, and Daisy’s message that no one is perfect and try not to judge.

The Glitta Supernova Experience, presented by Pretty Peepera Cabaret, made its debut at the Perth Fringeworld, and comes to the 2015 Adelaide Fringe hot on the heels of that.
