This week I’m joined by comedian and celebrity social worker (as seen on Netlfix), Esky Escandor. Esky has been a member of The Comedy Writers Group since the early days and it’s time for him to make his solo debut at the Sydney Fringe.
Come and be a fly on the wall as I offer my two-cents in the development process of the show. We chat about shortform versus storytelling, Esky’s fifteen minutes of fame, finding the music in the delivery, and a whole lot more.
Stick around at the end of the episode to hang out with Theo Rylan and Nicole Chapman. We have an exciting announcement.
