What's the most important thing to pack before a Roadshow? I packed 14 pairs of undies and socks (do people say undies still or is that a bit 'nanna'?). I have a strict no repeat wears of both. My Roadshow leg is a month this year and you just have no idea when the next washing machine will be available. Yes there are people going through much harder times on planet Earth right now but this is the stuff keeping me up at night.
What roadside attraction are you most excited about? There are a lot of big things in this country! The cynical city slicker thinks it's nothing impressive but when you drive past the Big Banana, Prawn, Pineapple, Sheep — whatever it is — you lose your shit over it and demand a photo! It's the bogan DNA that flows through all of us.
What's been your favourite stop so far? Broome has been my favourite so far. I even Instagrammed a photo of the sunset there. Where the hell did that come from? The plane was delayed by eight hours the day after the show so we were "forced" to spend the day at the beach and back at the hotel pool and bar — tough times!
Do you have any road-trip stories you would use in your act? My favourite audience member was a lady who had a missing finger and demanded that all of us gave her "a four!" instead of a high five. Magical.

Are you the driver or the navigator? I got to drive this year! I have no idea who signed off on that on the insurance forms but driving across the Pilbara was pretty great. Besides the constant fear of hitting a kangaroo and killing us all — it was very relaxing.
What's your favourite roadtrip movie? This is the part of the interview where I try and write something cool and deny that I feel everyone should watch the critically acclaimed Crossroads staring Britney Spears.
What's on your roadshow playlist? Flume's new album has been getting a lot of air time this week in the cars but once everyone falls asleep or puts their own headphones in to smash a podcast I flip over to the Les Mis soundtrack. Maybe Flume is reading this and can combine my two loves and rework the Les Mis soundtrack. Do you think there's a demand for that?
