This one probably needs a little explanation. Directing and performing in sketch comedy shows arose out of myself and my uni friends obsession with the comedy stylings of Aunty Donna, Lano and Woodley and Monty Python. We had just graduated, we had no work, so we thought ‘why not? We’re funny!’ Because, as we all know, all the funniest people have to say they’re funny.

The Good Time Boys were a collection of around 10 - yes 10 - struggling actors, writers and general miscreants making something in between short form and long form comedy plays. Mid form? Sure. Each full length show would contain 3-4 ‘sketch plays’ around 10-15 minutes each, written and performed by various members of the group and directed by myself.

Hot Bread came about when we realised that 10 people regularly making content was not sustainable. Weird. So myself and two other silly boys - Drew Buchanan and Chris Paton - headed off on our own. A couple of name changes later, the locally celebrated and very silly voice of Hot Bread Comedy was born. We all went our seperate ways in 2023, but despite how silly it all was, it remains some of the work I am most proud of in my life.
