What happens when you sit down with one of Australia’s most beloved comedians and media personalities, the conversation digs deeper than the punchlines?
In this episode of Transforming the Game, Kristina Katsanevas chats with David “Hughesy” Hughes comedian, radio and TV icon, and one of the quickest-witted Aussies you’ll ever meet. Beyond the jokes, Hughesy shares raw, hilarious, and surprisingly heartwarming stories from breaking ribs in a charity AFL game (yes, and still kicking a goal) to quitting alcohol at 21 and managing the chaos of online hate.
This episode goes past the spotlight to reveal Hughesy’s perspective on ambition, reinvention, ego battles, and the liberating power of presence. Discover how he’s stayed relevant for decades, why he’s stopped worrying about what others think, and the surprising ways comedy has carried him through life’s toughest seasons.
If you want to hear the real story behind the laughs and how to keep evolving when the world thinks they already know you, this episode delivers.
