Yes that’s right, you can ask Z & G anything! After thousands of calls Z & G give the callers a bit of advice. Unfortunately a few prank callers got through, and someone was looking for a large pizza, and there was a lost delivery driver. And then the boss called with some bad news.   The post Ask Z & G #7 appeared first on Laugh Out Proud.

Usually it’s a producer’s job to book the guests for a radio show, Laugh Out Proud is no different. Without a producer, Z & G take it upon themselves to book their own guests. The only guests that the guys could get organised happen to be family members of Z & G. Laugh Out Proud gets guests this week from all over the world and they provide a wonderful scope of knowledge, experiences and wisdom. Who knew the guys had such animated family members? I think they should have their own shows. And as always remember, miscommunication is key to how things go down here on Laugh Out Proud.

Z & G were lucky enough to have a chat in studio with Melbourne comedian Simon Taylor. Simon tells all about how he got into stand-up, always having the performing flare, getting into Top Acts in high school. Slowly transitioning out of being a magician doing jokes in between tricks, and transforming into a full stand-up show. Spending time on and off in America, Simon landed a writing gig for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, sending in jokes from Melbourne. After writing for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for 2 years, Simon moved onto writing for Shaun Micallef on his show Mad As Hell. Simon tells Z & G about the trials and tribulations of writing Melbourne International Comedy Festival shows, this year being his 9th festival show. Check Out Simon’s Facebook For Upcoming Gigs.

Once in a while Laugh Out Proud goes out and about to see what’s happening around town.

Z & G were lucky enough to have a chat in studio with Melbourne comedian Rob Caruana. Rob tells us all about his love for movies, leading him to try acting and auditioning for Neighbours as Rob Robinson. Acting wasn’t working out for Rob, so his acting teacher recommended comedy, which led him to rocking up to The Comic’s Lounge in Melbourne and doing the workshops, then moving on to open mics. Rob took on his love for old style comedy and vaudeville, becoming an improv prop comic. Taking prop comedy to the next level, Rob ate 12 hot chillies before an open mic spot, nearly having to go to hospital after the set. But the true comic he is, Rob pushed on through to his next set around Melbourne. Z & G get to hear all about Rob’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival experiences, from dousing himself in paint all over his suit, to throwing darts on stilts.

Both Z & G have pretty poor sense of direction. Both Z & G get lost pretty frequently. Both Z & G are pretty bad at understanding people giving directions to get places. Both Z & G have become pretty dependant on technology. Producer Dylan provides some insight as to how to use the ancient technologies of a ‘MAP’ and “MelWays”. Z talks about the race in life that happens that we don’t want to lose, and that’s the race to the toilet. G lets the listeners in on what he does to save time and money on road trips. Life needs a you are here button at all times and the future has that……..Phones to that now?…….THE FUTURE IS NOW! The post The Getting Lost appeared first on Laugh Out Proud.

Z & G were lucky enough to have a chat in studio with Melbourne comedian Izzy Ali. Izzy tells us all about how his early love for stand-up, watching Eddie Murphy’s stand-up special Delirious and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s Gala each year. It wasn’t until Izzy listened to an older fellow warehouse worker, who told him “you’re young, get outta here” which gave him the push to front up at The Comic’s Lounge in Melbourne, starting his comedy career. Z & G hear all about Izzy’s first time during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2017, featuring in a showcase of comics.

For the members of Laugh Out Proud, fame and glory is what they do it for. Plus the Laugh Out Prouders, but mostly the fame one. G tells the story of how he became a face that was all over peoples mobile phone screens. For some, appearing in a Snapchat story is a daily thing in this day and age. For those like G, finding that he made the background of a story of a complete stranger, is a day-maker. Imagine the feeling of it happening again?!? Yeah, feels good doesn’t it. Z & G also blow the lid right of on Wendy and who she sees outside of the show. The post The SnapChat Celebrity appeared first on Laugh Out Proud.
