Four Burners with Josh Earl

Danny McGinlay (Bulldogs Banner Man) joins me to talk about our early days as the youngest comedians in the Melbourne comedy scene, finding the joy in working within a team and realising on national television that it is time to shave your head.

It's back. And our first guest to kick off the next chapter is Lauren Bonner. Lauren Bonner is a Sydney comedian who has had an incredible (And incredibly unlucky) few years. Cast in a show by a producer of Only Murders in the Building, filmed the whole series only for the studio to scrap it during the writers strike as part of some hard ball negotiations. But Lauren bounced back to get funding for a pilot from the ABC only for a dodgy manager to spend all the funds.
We talk about this and heaps more. Give it a listen and go check out her MICF or Sydney Comedy Festival show if you get the chance.

This is episode 100, and the final (for now) episode of Four Burners. For this I invite Jess McGuire back on the pod to discuss where I'm at with my burners. We discuss getting healthy, getting married, and how I'm possibly a bad friend. Thanks to everyone of you who have listened these last two years, I really appreciate it.
