It wasn't better we're always on tour. 17 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: So Feb twenty twenty pulled the pin and moved to Melbourne. 18 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: The mask, Yeah, twenty twenty. 19 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: Look out what was happening in Feb twenty twenty. Oh 20 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: that's right. I moved to Melbourne just in time for 21 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,639 Speaker 1: all seven of Dan Andrews' lockdowns. 22 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I. 23 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: Think I became a true Melbournian when I was down 24 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: there because I developed such a hatred for you people 25 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: up here in Sydney, warning around your harbor, you with 26 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: your masks down around your chin's going, oh, it's really 27 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: bad this pandemic, isn't it. It's like, shut up, you 28 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: don't know. 29 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 2: Oh, we got our own in the end, though I 30 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: think we had a big, long one at the end. 31 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: Shut up the parize of the nation. None of you 32 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: would let us in, the dirty Victorians. But no, it's 33 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: it's been terrific. It's just that thing of moving cities 34 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: and setting up your infrastructure again. 35 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: And just staying home and coming back to the stage. 36 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: How long is it since you've done a show? Well, 37 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: we've sort of, I. 38 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: Think when when did things open up again? We started 39 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: getting back out there, and the only the only really 40 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: good thing about having the time off was that everybody 41 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: had the time off. Because the thing with comedy is 42 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: it's like sport. You've got to keep practicing it or 43 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: you get rubbish at it. So you do have to 44 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: keep doing it. And so if I'd dropped out for 45 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: two and a half years and everyone else had kept going, 46 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: then I really would have been left behind because everybody 47 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: had to stop. It was a bit of a level 48 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: playing field when everyone came and. 49 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 3: When you went back on stage for the first time 50 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: after all that time, how did it feel? 51 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: Horrific? I mean, I was excited to be back up there, 52 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: but I was nervous again, like an open Mica, just 53 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: going I've forgotten how to do it. I was taking 54 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: notes on stage, and for about the first twenty shows, 55 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: just in little clubs and stuff, I'd be taking notes 56 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: up there and go, oh, this is my first show back. 57 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: Everyone being nice, you know, And eventually I went, you 58 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: know what, They're not going to believe you a year 59 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: after and if you kept saying this is my first 60 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: show back everyone, so I had to just ditch the notes. 61 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was really it was really interesting how 62 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: use you can get to not being on the stage 63 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: and not having that kind of. 64 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: Because it's like exercising a muscle. I imagine having the 65 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: bravado to stand up there. 66 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just you know, you lost all your 67 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: confidence in your back up. They're going, I've forgotten. I 68 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: don't know what's funny anymore. I don't know. So yeah, 69 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: it was but so fun as well. The audiences I 70 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: think were probably the nicest they could ever be because they. 71 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: Were excited recept it. 72 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, they were so excited to be back out and 73 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: seeing stuff, so everyone was. It was kind of just 74 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: a good mood. They everyone sort of helped us back 75 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: on our feet. I think it was really nice. 76 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: And that's what happened with the logies when the leggies 77 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: came back went and everyone went, We're just happy to 78 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: be out. 79 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: Yes, And with Fisk, I love your I love the show, 80 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: but I love your character. I can so relate to 81 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: her that she just wants to wear the same clothes 82 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: every single day. She has a love of soup, she 83 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: doesn't stay up late. I just she is my spirit animal. Yeah. 84 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: Well the suit thing. You know, everyone says to me, oh, 85 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: if you do another series, will you change the Suit's 86 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: Like No, I quite like it. And also I'm lazy, 87 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: like in my real life, I'd like to wear the 88 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: same thing every day. But also when you're on a 89 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: set like we just filmed another series of Utopia and 90 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: when I play Rhonda, I have to put spanks on 91 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: and I have to change five times a day to 92 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: you know, for different scenes and different different days within 93 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: the show.
