G’day Fearmongers!
We’ve just posted a great new podcast episode for you — A Rational Fear’s Mid-Winter Bore recorded live at The Street Theatre, featuring Mark Humphries, Lewis Hobba, Shalailah Medhora, Mike Bowers and me, Dan Ilic.
A huge crowd, thirsty for satire or maybe just starved of any kind of entertainment, turned up for the best show we’ve ever done in Canberra*.
The fearmongers ripped apart this month’s news faster than Boris Johnson ripped apart his party majority. The locals lapped it up and we didn’t even make a single joke about roundabouts (trams are the new roundabouts).
Listen in and hear about the Tamil family’s plight, the return of ‘The Boats’, Canberra missing out on being on the Economist’s ‘Liveable City Index’ and Hanson’s slippery slope on Uluru. 7:30 satirist Mark Humphries talks comedy cuts and makes a great Mugabe joke. Hack’s Shalailah Medhora slams the notion of the ‘Canberra Bubble’. The Guardian’s Photographer at large Mike Bowers brainstorms new Sky News shows, and Triple J’s Lewis Hobba laments Nine Network’s Liberal Party fundraiser and calls for all-in bribery.
It’s fast, it’s funny, it’s #insiders on crack.
(*also the 1st show we’ve ever done in Canberra — we’ll be back)
Cheers
Dan
