Speaker 1: Question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells show podcast.
Speaker 1: So we have a date and now very excited. So
Speaker 1: we have a venue, a great venue as well for
Speaker 1: our stand up comedy night with the Difference next week.
Speaker 1: It's going to be on Thursday, the seventh of April.
Speaker 1: This is a stand up comedy night that we're putting on.
Speaker 1: I'll be hosting it and it's for you if you've
Speaker 1: never done stand it before, but you've always wanted to
Speaker 1: give it a go, but you've been worried about being
Speaker 1: a hecklored the number one Golden Rulers. There's no heckling.
Speaker 1: So there is a brilliant comedy club on a Monday
Speaker 1: night at the local taphouse in Saint Kilda. I've done
Speaker 1: you know. It's where comedians go and they try out
Speaker 1: new material and last minded that their Tony Martmer's up
Speaker 1: there trying some stuff. It is a brilliant cozy. You
Speaker 1: know in some pubs they get it right. The atmosphere.
Speaker 1: As soon as you go in you just feel, I
Speaker 1: don't know what home there. It's I think cold about it.
Speaker 1: So I'm super excited that it's the local taphouse that
Speaker 1: is where we'll be doing it and where all the
Speaker 1: acts will get onto the very intimate little stage. Sometimes
Speaker 1: in bigger venues there is gap between you and the
Speaker 1: front row. There's no gap. No, you can see the
Speaker 1: audience faces and are they laughing? Some nights are there
Speaker 1: some people decide to rest their feet on the tiny
Speaker 1: little stage as well. Always annoys me, but anyway, it's
Speaker 1: a property comedy club. This is where the big comics
Speaker 1: all go and try out new material, and they go
Speaker 1: there on a Monday night because of the setting in
Speaker 1: this room. So that's where it's going to be. We're
Speaker 1: chelly later on this week how he can win your
Speaker 1: way there. Meet some of the people then who we've
Speaker 1: already booked to come on, and there are a couple
Speaker 1: more spots which will be filling up this week. So
Speaker 1: over the weekend, the four that we've got on the
Speaker 1: lineup at the moment, we're giving a homework asks them
Speaker 1: to spend some time this weekend thinking about the stories
Speaker 1: that they'd like to share up there. So this is Gus,
Speaker 1: who I'm calling the fifteen year old teenage sensation because
Speaker 1: I've seen his act. What he wants to talk about.
Speaker 1: He's got some great stuff.
Speaker 3: Morning Legends. It's Gus here with another update. He is rifting,
Speaker 3: my friend. I'm not sure that I'm the fifteen year
Speaker 3: old sensation that you ever referred to me as one
Speaker 3: those stories that I want to share. I'm feeling really
Speaker 3: excited about them, really confident. I timed the whole thing.
Speaker 3: I rehearsed them to the family. They were laughing so much,
Speaker 3: and that made me feel awesome. That was a really
Speaker 3: nice reaction to see. So all in all, I'm feeling
Speaker 3: awesome about it. It's going to be great. Little bit
Speaker 3: a little bit nervous, but yeah, overall, pretty excited and
Speaker 3: can't wait to get out there. All right, talk soon.
Speaker 4: He's timed it, which means he's ready to go.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just thought this would be part of the process.
Speaker 1: I read it yesterday, right, and he goes, it's done.
Speaker 1: He actually have completed it. I guess it's a computer game. Look,
Speaker 1: he's completed stand up for he's submitting homework and you're
Speaker 1: his teacher. So that's fifty year old Gusts. We've also
Speaker 1: got cold feet, Sam. This was a guy who wanted
Speaker 1: to stand up, went to and open my night and
Speaker 1: got cold feet. Sam is on the bill.
Speaker 5: Hey Christian, it's cold feed Sam here, good progress made
Speaker 5: this week. The first thing I've been doing is been
Speaker 5: wearing a couple pairs of socks. You stay. I figure
Speaker 5: if I keep those tutsies nice and warm, you know
Speaker 5: I won't get cold feet at your show. The other
Speaker 5: thing is I've been dreaming a lot, and there is
Speaker 5: one recurring dream. It's at the comedy show.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: It's at the end of my set. It pans out
Speaker 5: to the audience and everyone's roaring with laughter. There is
Speaker 5: one problem in that the dream's not showing me what
Speaker 5: I actually said to make them laugh. So yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: hoping over the next few days, I just dreamed that
Speaker 5: part out and yeah, if that works, you know, the
Speaker 5: set will right itself.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Otherwise, ask Gus. Course it's done. He's got nothing to
Speaker 1: do for the next week. En off, twiddling time down.
Speaker 2: I've even done that. I think I've ever chimed out
Speaker 2: with anything ever. Now this lady calls herself crazy cat.
Speaker 2: I have to be honestly to speak today. I need
Speaker 2: her blessing to call.
Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable calling her crazy cat, but she
Speaker 1: does refer to her as crew herself as crazy Cat.
Speaker 1: We call her six foot two cat.
Speaker 4: Christian, it's crazy Cat here. And I've been thinking of
Speaker 4: moments in my laugh that make me laugh. One that
Speaker 4: springs to mind is the time I try to empower
Speaker 4: other tall girls by making a Facebook page called tall
Speaker 4: Girls are Hot to like, you know, advocate and liberate us.
Speaker 4: But it's somehow, over time accidentally become like a fetish
Speaker 4: page where tiny little skinny men started sending pics of
Speaker 4: themselves being carried around by tall, muscly women. Not the
Speaker 4: kind of liberation I was after. Any Who, king got
Speaker 4: to go and check my Facebook messages.
Speaker 1: Than love Cat, She's going to smash it next week
Speaker 1: like she is going to just kill next week Cat. Brilliant, brilliant,
Speaker 1: brilliant put that story as well. And then there's the
Speaker 1: super grand Debbie who we love.
Speaker 3: Hey, Christian, it's Jip, the sixty one year old souperin en.
Speaker 4: Wat her the other day when I explained her while
Speaker 4: I was doing signy.
Speaker 5: Oh great, mum, be laughing at your own jokes.
Speaker 2: I do have some stories that I think people will enjoy,
Speaker 2: and one it's about.
Speaker 4: Sun borrowing my car.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm sure a lot of people care late that,
Speaker 2: so look forward to working with you. Take care Christians soon. Bye.
Speaker 3: I hope there's a little more to the story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, look, I've got to put much time in
Speaker 1: with Gus, so I've got time to spread it to
Speaker 1: others who need to help this week, all right, So
Speaker 1: if you do, if you listen to this thing, King,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'd love to part of this. We
Speaker 1: are helping you out, honestly. You know, some of them
Speaker 1: don't need that much help. Gus and Sam and Kata
Speaker 1: doing really well. Debbie will be great as well. We're
Speaker 1: going to help you guys out as well with what
Speaker 1: you do up there. You're not just gonna be left
Speaker 1: alone if we book you this week that you've got
Speaker 1: to try and work out how on earth you're going
Speaker 1: to structure what you want to say out there. We
Speaker 1: can help with that. So if you do want to
Speaker 1: get involved, it is going to be all locked down
Speaker 1: really by the middle of this week. Do not waste
Speaker 1: any time because other people will get in there ahead

Speaker 1: feel great afterwards. It'll be an incredible feeling to know
Speaker 1: that you actually did stand at comedy. If you don't
