Benny and the Jets (with Benny Marama)

For award-winning playwright Benny Marama, the joke he gets about his name is simply his name, albeit sung in falsetto in the style of Elton John. This makes him harrumph. Harrumph I tell you! He tells us all about it in this episode, along with other name-based assumptions people make, the art of naming characters in his plays, and a beautiful story about his nana.
