Matt Okine: Happiness Not Included

Ultimately Happiness Not Included deals with the trials and tribulations that led Matt Okine to his recent national fame. While his job at triple j is, by admission, his first full-time employment, it wasn't an easy path getting there. Not sugar coating the narrative for cheap laughs, his story at times takes a dark twist, as he recounts feelings of depression and anxiety, but it's his fortitude and ability to laugh at himself that sees him overcome a series of setbacks. Forget the failed AFL career, the redundant degree and subsequent HECS debt or the teeth marks permanently etched into his skin by a street heckler, Matt Okine has officially announced himself as a comedian, and a damn fine one at that.
