This week we welcome the comedy legend Sam Simmons to the pod. Listen as he showers Come Dine With Me, Dave Lamb and trashy UK TV with love and ponders why Australia has never had a sitcom that has truly broken through internationally. Sam introduces me to the hilarious 'David's Dead' moment from celebrity Big Brother 2016 and explains why he dislikes the term Dramedy. Although he loves acting and performing, Sam has decided that it might well be time to get a proper job, which is why he is now selling sausages at the Adelaide Fringe. Now for trigger warnings, there's a bit of chat regarding suicidal ideation and intrusive thoughts, so feel free to skip over those parts if you find such subjects uncomfortable, Please Follow us on Social Media (links below): All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis Gunn.
