Hannah Story asked a slew of Australian comics, including Tom Ballard, Pauly Fenech, Heath Franklin, Geraldine Hickey, Nazeem Hussain, Bev Killick and Matt Okine, to reflect on the last decade in Australian comedy, and what they hope to see in the future.
Scottish comic Daniel Sloss, England’s James Acaster and our very own Nazeem Hussain each saw their comedy specials drop on Netflix this past year. They tell Hannah Story about how streaming services are changing the stand-up game.
"There's clearly so much love to give from the comedy community."
Featuring Arj Barker, Ross Noble, Stephen K Amos and more!
"Now we can't start a day of comedy without six hours of stretching before we get to the work."
"Are we just going to become what ISIS wants us to become — a world where there’s Muslim and non-Muslim?"
That's twice as many laughs.
"It's a fast-paced, fun hour that could use tightening, but still proves why Hussain is one of Australia's leading comedians."
"I genuinely managed to bargain it down to $750, I said I was a poor Indian student."
