  • Dissecting a Frog Podcast

    I was recently a guest on the excellent ‘Dissecting a Frog’ podcast, where host Luke Morris from Comedy Victoria and I discussed the finer points of writing comedy for radio, TV & online.

    Highlights include some things I’ve never told anyone, like how I derive inspiration from the ABC toilets, some behind the scenes tidbits from Mad as Hell, my brief time at Triple M in 2009, fun with autocues and the latest season of VHS Revue.

    They’re all good episodes and if you’re interested in writing and/or performing comedy and the mechanics of it, I highly recommend listening to the whole series.

  • Mad As Hell writing highlights 2020/21

    Here are some of my favourite bits I wrote for Shaun Micallef’s MAD AS HELL (Series 11 – 13).

    These seasons were produced during Melbourne’s Covid-19 lockdowns and hence most of the episodes did not have a studio audience.

    Writing on Mad as Hell is the best job I’ve ever had. Every day is a masterclass in creating television comedy, working with the best writers, performers and crew in Australia.

    The show is currently preparing for its 15th season. Catch it on ABC TV and ABC iView.
