Deadpan Walking: Comedian Luke Heggie Is On This Week's Episode Of 'The Green Room'

"I'm not a born public speaker...there's a lot of people who just are the 'born to entertain' types, they love that. I still have trouble now sometimes going on - it's quite a surreal, weird thing to be doing, just talking and people sit there listening. Sometimes laughing, sometimes not!"

A staple on the comedy festival circuit and a double ARIA Award nominee renowned for his deadpan delivery and “harsh but fair” approach; comedian Luke Heggie has cultivated a cult-like following in an industry he’d never planned to join.

And while dabbling in lockdown amid co-hosting the Mid Flight Brawl podcast with fellow comedian Nick Cody, on today's episode of The Green Room podcast the man himself shares with host Tiana Speter his unlikely career journey, fortuitous New Year’s resolutions, airplane incidents and the only thing worse than heckling at a comedy show.
