He released his debut show " Not a Drug Dealer" in 2020 before releasing it in 2023 online at malindaperera.com , and is currently touring his newest show "Marinated Lamb" this year. Malinda is the resident Host of N2O comedy that has performances in Vienna and Dublin and has recently begun the process of making his own podcast "Off-Stage Tales" where he provides a behind the scenes look at touring through Europe.

In this bumper Six Nations Review, we hand out our Trying Times Awards. PART 1!
Yes, the Oscars may be over but there is a new award show in town! So grab your tuxes and your frocks and lets get talking hypothetical rugby awards for hours at a time.
We crown the Best Game, Worst Game, Happiest Team, Saddest team, Best Moment, Biggest WTF moment, Best Player, Best Coach as well as giving a few cheeky runner up prises.
As the Six Nations Draws to a close and we have to find other means of talking rugby to whoever still talks to us, sit back and enjoy the first in our two parter award show.

Who needs a Grand Slam anyway?
We're not bitter, winning a grandslam is so 2023. We're all in on Italy now anyway. FORZA!
Join us as we talk Irish Heartbreak, Italian joy, English vindication, French flair and Scottish Suffering.
Wales also played.
In this episode we reviewed what went right and wrong in a scintillating week of Six Nations Rugby.
If you read this far let Jack know as he has no clue if anyone reads these and will slowly lose his sanity in the 4000 character limit of episode summaries.
