    Comedy and Science: together at last with The Laughter Lab

    This week JOY Breakfast Host Dee Mason caught up with Geoff Paine (you remember Dr. Clive from Neighbours, right?) to talk about The Laughter Lab coming for ONE NIGHT ONLY to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2025. April 7   pictured: A couple of comedy/science nerds. Geoff Paine and Dee Mason   Join us for a one-off opportunity to witness live laughter experiments on stage, and discover some of the quirky science behind the fascinating — and sometimes odd — human behaviour that is laughter. Host Geoff Paine and real-life scientists will explore what makes us laugh, how it’s both contagious and good for us, and how it can open the door to the taboo. This show is for the thinkers and the laughers, with every question met with strict scientific rigour* (*sort of). Among gags and giggles, we’ll attempt to clarify humour’s more murky depths through real-time research: Can we violate social norms just for laughs? Why aren’t mother-in-law jokes a thing anymore? Did mirror neurons just make you laugh, or was it really funny? Can we “punch down” and crack up at the same time? Science tells us we’re comfortable laughing in groups; the feedback loop helps us bond with those around us. So expect an evening of comedic unity as you laugh, learn and connect with the rest of the room — endorphins no extra charge. https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows/the-laughter-lab/

    Breast Screening in the LGBTQIA+ Community: Get yourself a bosom buddy!!

    Chances are that if you are a person you have been touched by breast cancer in some way.  Maybe you are living with a diagnosis currently – perhaps you are a survivor – but almost certainly in Australia today, you know somebody who has been diagnosed or lost a loved one. Breast cancer accounts for 14% of all cancer deaths in Australian women with over 3200 of us dying from it each year and the rates have increased year on year. The good news is that Australia has one of the best breast cancer survival rates in the world and we live in a country that offers free mammograms to all women aged 50-74 every 2 years and that early detection is key to survival. While the statistics are sobering – 1 in 7 Australian women will likely be diagnosed in their life – one statistic that has me flummoxed is that women in the LGBTQIA+ community are more than twice as likely to never have a breast screen. To help unpack that host Dee Mason was joined by BreastScreen Victoria’s CEO Rita Butera. Rita Butera (CEO BreastScreen Victoria) with JOY Brekky Host Dee Mason head to www.breastscreen.org.au

    Jessica Budin: Girt By Sea: on Joy Brekky

    On Today’s Show our host Dee Mason caught up with writer, producer, comedian Jess Budin to talk about their upcoming Melbourne International Comedy Festival show: Girt by Sea. It’s time for the Australian public to learn the truth. Girt is not just a weird word in our national anthem – she is this country’s greatest swimming coach. And she’s letting a documentary crew into her wet ‘n’ wild world for the first time!Nestled in the humble coastal town of Convict’s Lunge, the outrageous and dedicated Girt, her ever-supportive husband Birt and their anxious adult daughter Joy, run the legendary – and unorthodox – Girt by Sea swimming school. But when the local parent’s council threatens the school with closure, Girt goes to even weirder lengths than usual to save everything she’s worked for.From blackmailing lawyers to stalking past students, freestyling past E-Coli outbreaks and diving over red tape, “Girt By Sea” is a mockumentary whirlwind championing family, community and the subtle art of an aqua aerobic dance routine.Written and produced by Jessica Budin Directed by Will NashStarring Jessica Budin (Law Revue: Yee Ha Ha Ha), Jackson Vaughan (Jock, Harry Ball: More Than A Game), Silvi Vann-Wall (Avenue Q, Pill Pop) & Richard Mealey (My Failed Career, Bryan & Richard Have Sketch Appeal)
