    Ep 26- Have You Also Been Betrayed By The Ashfield Polish Club? (With Darren Gilshenan)

    All I wanted to do was win a game of trivia. But when I arrived at the Polish Club in Ashfield to do just that (alongside a team of strangers that I hard sourced on the internet) things went very wrong, very quickly… And don't really know how! In lighter news, you’ll also meet two Germans who are attempting to reach Australia using only public transport! They left their home in Munich more than three years ago now and are so close to reaching our shores (just in time for music festival season). I caught up with Teresa and Dennis (Human Travel Stories on Instagram) to see how their journey is going so far and hear all of their best stories from life on the road!  And finally, you’ll hear from actor Darren Gilshenan (The Moody’s, No Activity) as we reflect on his long career across both stage and screen. I’ve been watching Darren’s work for many years now and was very excited to hear about everything from his work with Patrick Brammell (Colin From Accounts, The Devil Wears Prada 2) to his incredibly impressive moustache!  HELP MAKE SYDNEY TONIGHT BETTER Pretty please, could you fill out ⁠⁠this form⁠⁠ to help us make this show as good as it possibly can be?

    BONUS- Avoid Running Whenever You Can (With Guneet Kaur)

    When she's not performing her "whip sharp" comedy on stages across the city, Guneet Kaur will NEVER be found running in marathons, fun runs, or anything in between. Because what's the point?! A long walk though, that's a different story... Guneet and I didn't just chat about the different forms of cardio exercise that she does and doesn't do. We also unpacked her history of accidents, the connotations of being described as "sharp", and her tips for getting the best out of an op shop. You can catch Guneet's show Sharper at the Sydney Fringe Festival on the 19th and 20th September at the Factory Theatre.

    Ep 25- Build A Halal Snack Pack And I'll Guess Which Part Of Sydney You’re From (With Guneet Kaur)

    Are you getting chicken? Beef? Lamb? A horrific mix of all three that would make God turn his back on humanity? These are the important, hard hitting questions that Buzzfeed asked us in 2017 and now, almost 10 years on, I am putting them to you. Or at least, to comedians John Glover and Andy Procopis as they join me in the studio to talk about their upcoming show at the Comedy Store, Singlet Comedians!  Also on the show tonight, comedian Guneet Kaur drops by to chat about her show Sharper which will be on at the Factory Theatre next weekend! Guneet is, by her own admission, relatively “accident prone” and we dive into her top flops and falls of all time, which was really vulnerable of her to share in hindsight. This was technically the second interview I did with Guneet after she came in previously only to find that the microphones were simply not connected, so we are running it back a second time tonight and I think we are all the better for it! And finally, in headline news: It’s Perfectly Normal And Good For It To Be This Hot In September Probably! Yes, we are only a couple of days into Spring and yes, the temperature has already climbed over the 30 degree mark on more than one occasion, but why would that be cause for concern? Maybe in a month or two when the country is riddled with bushfires and the sun is burning anybody who dares step outside, but for now, it’s perfect beach weather!! Yippee! But as people flock to the ocean, the lifeguards from Bondi Rescue are having to bring forward the shooting of their upcoming season, and new recruits are being thrown into the deep end as they learn the ropes. This week on Sydney Tonight, I’ve got an exclusive clip from an upcoming episode of Sydney’s favourite show about English people getting caught in rips, and it’s not one to miss! (A big thank you to Gorse who created this sketch for their show at ITS and generously allowed me to play it on the show because I thought it was so funny).  HELP MAKE SYDNEY TONIGHT BETTER Pretty please, could you fill out ⁠⁠this form⁠⁠ to help us make this show as good as it possibly can be?

    BONUS- This Is A Pro-Raygun Podcast (With Steph Broadbridge)

    In 2025, a musical based on the fictional breakdancer "Spraygun" sold out shows across the country. But it very nearly didn't happen at all. In this episode of Sydney Tonight, I talk to the creator of that musical- comedian Steph Broadbridge. I've got to be honest, a lot of this interview just ended up being a comedy nerd chat between Steph and I, but sometimes you have to indulge yourself a little bit! We chat for ages about the process of writing jokes, why so many small details can make or break a gig, and the absolutely mammoth task of trying to sell tickets to a show that is going to lose money anyway! Steph was an absolute delight to have on the show and if you ever see her on any line ups across the city, make sure you go along and watch her shine! She's not one of the best joke writers in the country for nothing!

    Ep 24- Three Simple Easy Breezy Basic Steps To Owning Your Own Home (With Steph Broadbridge)

    It’s been said that Sydney is one of the most expensive cities in the world, and plenty of young people have all but given up on their dreams of owning a home of their own, but Lily Hensby’s mum Danielle doesn’t think it’s that difficult at all. In fact, if you take her advice, then you’ll be unpacking your things in your new house in no time! Danielle (and Lily) joined me in the Sydney Tonight studios this week to try and solve your issues, with listeners sending in problems that they needed help with. Things like how to prepare for a job interview and what to do if a date doesn’t go according to plan. You can catch Lily’s show Bonehead at the Sydney Fringe Festival this week!  Also on the show, comedian Steph Broadbridge came by to chat about her recent triumph (and, in her own words, stupidest thing she’s ever done) Breaking: The Musical. The show was a hit across all the cities (and countries) it toured, but it very nearly didn’t happen at all! Steph also chatted to me about her more than 10 years of work in the stand up comedy circuit, and the mobile game she was very (very) addicted to.  But arguably the most important part of the show this week was the return of Nathan Roach! Nathan’s show, Nine Year Old Musical Comedian, is on at the Fringe Festival all week and Nathan came back to his humble beginnings (this show) to talk about it. And while he was here, he put his musical comedy skills to work by helping create the next big bird song- Noisy Miner. After the success of Eastern Rosella’s, Nathan and I wanted to capitalise on the public demand for bird music and dedicated our song to a more humble, familiar species than the fancy, even pompous, Eastern Rosella.

    BONUS- I Really Embarrassed Myself In Front Of Vera Blue

    Fresh off the launch of her new album Modern Rituals, singer Vera Blue dropped by the Sydney Tonight studios to chat about her new music, her life growing up in the little town of Forbes, and the time she ran the City2Surf! But really, this interview will go down in history for one of the biggest flops I have ever made as a radio presenter, and it simply had to come in front of one of the biggest names I've had the pleasure of speaking to.

    Ep 23- Why This Council Is Filling A Swimming Pool With 600 Fish (With Vera Blue)

    After weeks of theories and predictions about what this event could actually involve, I have finally got a full report for you from the Blacktown Family Fish In, and I think it might be the weirdest event in all of Sydney. Running for multiple decades the Fish In is far more popular than I first thought, selling out in a matter of hours! People travelled from far and wide to be in attendance and I spoke to as many of them as I possibly could. This is a story you really don’t want to miss! I was also joined by Vera Blue in the studio to talk about her new album Modern Rituals! We chatted about her home town of Forbes and the slightly weird statue that it has on display there, as well as a secret her pop unknowingly kept from the rest of the family up until very recently! Vera (Celia Pavey) is also further evidence that we only ever have nice people on this show! But the real story of the week is to do with our very own Mark Williamson. After joining me on the show a few weeks ago, a piece of feedback came in about him that rocked not only his world, but his wife’s too! He joins me in the studio to unpack it and potentially send this episode of Sydney Tonight right to the top of all trending podcast charts.
