Basically it doesn't get dark yet. 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: It gets dark for about an hour when I think 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: come out and skirt at the local of course, and 12 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 2: then so basically it's like it feels it's daytime. Walking 13 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: out of the second show. 14 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 3: It's crazy that I'll do your head in. But when 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 3: you are coming to Australia and playing lots of different venuesually, 16 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 3: playing places like Ballarette and Bendy, go On, woll and Gong, 17 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 3: so not just kept cities. Thinking behind that you just 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 3: want to catch up and get the show to as 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 3: many people as possible. 20 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: A bit of that, and there's also you know, the 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: people of the people of Ballarat and Bendig. You don't 22 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: want them me to major cities and only messing up 23 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: to So it's best if we contain the problem. I'll 24 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: go to them. It's really, it's really it's my love 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: of Breta Tumberg. It makes more sense if just my 26 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: carbon front print is bad, is bad, I go to them. 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: But I hate it when people go, oh, yeah, I've 28 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: done Australia and they've done Sydney and Melbourne. They've even 29 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: been to Brisbane and Perth. Well about nothing count at all. Well, 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 2: Perth is like, it's such a weird it's so far 31 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: away from the rest of it and so different feel. 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: I remember being there a couple of years ago and 33 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: getting drunk in the Crown Casino on like Caffrey's Ale, 34 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: like Cathy's like, you can't get that in London. You 35 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: can only get that in Ireland. It's really specific, like 36 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: British and Irish people and the Five Fos and the 37 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: different culture people are living in Balley and flying in 38 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: It's amazing. 39 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: Okay, this is true. Well, can you tell us about 40 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: the tour. I mean it's almost a year away. Is 41 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: it in the can or is it something you're still 42 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: working on constantly, a constantly evolving thing. 43 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: Well, the show is the show. I mean, you know, 44 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 2: I write jokes. I've got a good fastball. I always 45 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: think I'm good with a short, pithy one liners, and 46 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: jokes will always be my love language. But really the 47 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: heart of the show is messing around with the audience. 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: So it's kind of half jokes that I've written and 49 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: I'm there to perform them, and you can sit and listen, 50 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: and it's it's interactive in that. I always think it's 51 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: like performative being in an audience, you know what I mean. 52 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: Like if you go and see Bruce Springsteen live and 53 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: he says how you're doing, everyone goes yeah. But if 54 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: you said the stuff that's how you're doing, they go, oh, yeah, 55 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: I'm fine. You don't join in the same way. Like 56 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: I almost think gigs are you're watching people play. They're 57 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: just they're like they're there to have a good time. 58 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: They're sort of brought into it. But half of it 59 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: is interactive with my show. You know, a lot of 60 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: comics want people to shut up and listen, and I 61 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: want people to join in. I kind of feel like 62 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: I don't have a monopoly on this sense of humor. 63 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: People come of my shows. It's self selecting people that 64 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: come with a dark sense of humor and they want 65 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: to join in. 66 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: And great, Oh absolutely. What about when you know someone 67 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 3: else in the audience My dad died watching one of 68 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: your shows and died laughing. 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, true story. 70 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: Right, did you do any background James No, No died 71 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: of boredom. 72 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: That was the one. The But I mean, I love that. 73 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 2: I love it when the heckler wins. I mean occasionally 74 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: it does happen, and I kind of think we're all in. 75 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: You've got you know, I'm in the service industry, right, 76 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: I'm never I'm never going to go short because I 77 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: make something that people want and make them happy. Yeah, 78 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: And it's like these it's like a not to quote 79 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: Maya Angelou, which seems rather weird of me, but my 80 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: Angelou said it best, Like people don't remember what you said, 81 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: they remember how you made them feel. That thing of 82 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: like we're all in service of evening. Whether the heckler 83 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: wins or I get one over on them, it doesn't matter. 84 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: It's all in service of the evening. We're just having fun. 85 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: It's pretty good that Mayra. We hear it. We do 86 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: hear a lot about cancel culture these days, which just 87 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: strikes me. As kind of an outter nonsense myself. Cancel culture. 88 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: But should a comedian ever apologize for a joke? I 89 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't think so. 90 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: I listen, here's the motto of the royal family, and 91 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: it maybe is the best thing they've ever given us. Yes, 92 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: never complain, Never explain. It's like, if you're explaining a joke, 93 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: then you've already lost because they've engaged you in a 94 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: it's a straw man where they've taken a joke and 95 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: they said, yeah, but what if that was a statement, 96 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: But it wasn't a statement, it was a joke. Jokes 97 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: can't be they can't be offensive because even if it's 98 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: a I always think of evil canevil. If I do 99 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: a joke and it doesn't work and it goes too far, well, listen, man, 100 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: I was paid for the attempt, not for the job. 101 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: You're not going to lose your head in your helmet. 102 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I Reckonmire Angelo would agree, Yeah, I bet you would. 103 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 2: Well.
