Adam Bloom, author of Finding Your Comic Genius, is my guest this week. Adam is a comedian with thirty years of experience and his book on writing and performing stand-up. His book, released in 2023, has become a hit among comedians so I was eager to find out the story behind its author.

We chat about how Adam came to write the book, self-publishing, touring, networking, and more. We also have some great listener submitted questions too.

Let's run some brand new jokes with special guests Lauren Edwards and Nicolette Minster. Lauren and Nicolette are brilliant stand-up comedians with shows coming up at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (they're also members of the CWG - what a brag.)

We chat about coming to stand-up comedy "a little later" in life before getting stuck into workshopping some brand new material from the three of us. Expect farts, robots, and phantoms.

Follow Lauren and Nicolette for all the info about their upcoming shows.

We chat about Maggie's various roles behind-the-scenes and how it has led to being an in-demand writer and director.
