'I Wanted My Album To Feel Bigger Than Just Music': Charley On 'The Chronicles Of A Serial Idealist'

Sydney Comedy Focus: Dominica Duckworth: I'll Stop When You Do

Briefly describe your show. I've decided I need to change the world - and I've picked the perfect format in which to do it. It's an hour of valuable suggestions for the Labor Party, thought experiments about dating wolves, and in-depth critiques of glossy pamphlets.

Describe your perfect audience. 140 Staffordshire Terriers. I don't tell any jokes, but I do give them all belly rubs.

Besides making people laugh, what else do you hope people get from your show? A detailed understanding of the evolution of information-communication technologies since the Big Bang. Also, hot tips as to how to date my friend Ben.

What's your pre-show ritual? How do you unwind after a show?  Dance break. Dance break warm-up, dance break cool-down, dance break when rehearsing. I'm dance breaking right now.

What makes a good comedy hour? And what makes an abysmal one? Good comedy is creative. If it's not surprising, it's not funny. There's a lot of unfunny, unsurprising, lazy, boring comedy and if you tell me a joke about women being high maintenance I will put redback spiders in your wheel wells.

Is there anything that comics shouldn't joke about? No one should ever, ever, ever use a magazine interview format to make jokes.

When and where is your SCF show? 21 & 22 Apr, Factory Theatre
