This week I’m joined by the brilliant Sweeney Preston. You might know Sweeney from his work in In Pour Taste, Late Nite Powerpoint Showcase, or seeing his stand-up shows around the world.
We chat about his experience taking his wine-tasting comedy show that he co-created with his counterpart Ethan Cavanagh to Las Vegas. We also dig into his experience writing for Spicks & Specks, his solo show Australia’s Worst Journalist.
