You're listening to the Wellington Mornings podcast with Nick Mills
from News Talk SEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
This weekend is the start of a month of laughs,
love a bit of comedy. The New Zealand International Comedy
Fest is returning to Wellington from this weekend until May
twenty fifth. There are more than one hundred and fifty
shows across the month, including renowned New Zealand comedian Josh
Thompson and his show old Mate. He joins us now.
Good morning, Josh.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Thanks for having me our pleasure. Tell us a little
bit about your show, old Mate. This sounds very very interesting.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Oh well, it's basically just sort of me not really complaining,
but basically complaining a lot about being a dad, having
a family and being a husband. And I'm not really
complaining about it, but I'm just sort of finding I
just find a lot of stuff quite strange, and I've
never really thought about it the way that I've sort
(01:04):
of thought about it in the show before. But I
really love being a dad, and I really love my
kids and my wife so much, but I kind of
need to get out some issues. So that's basically me
just turning into.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
A grumpy old man. Too. Really, Yeah, So did you
write the play, the comedy sketch yourself? Is it all you?
The show?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It's all me? It's all me, and you know, some
stuff I've been writting on for a while and some
stuff I've just sort of thought of just this morning,
but it'll be it's a lot of fun. There's not
a big sort of emotional journey or anything like that.
It's basically me just complaining.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You know what I've always wanted to ask a comedian
is how much of your stuff when you're writing it
is real life? You saw someone do something or say
something funny and you think if I could change that,
I could make it really really funny, Or how much
of it was just made up in your mind?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I mean, there's a lot. There's a bit of everything.
There's there's sometimes things happen in the world and I'll
be like, you know what, if I could go back
and have the courage to say this, that would have
been really funny. Or if someone had done something that's
slightly different, it would have been much funnier. But sometimes,
like there's a stuff in my show which I just
couldn't believe happened, and I just realized I've been telling
(02:21):
people these stories for a long time, and I thought
I might as well say it on stage. Just really
bizarre stuff seems happened to me quite a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
How much did it changed night tonight?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh, it's fairly similar. It's fairly similar. It depends what
the crowd's feeling and what they like at Different crowds
bring different energy, so you've got to kind of adjust
as you go. But it's basically the same stuff, but
I can never really tell what's.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Going to happen. Let's talk Josh Thompson born in Timoru.
How the hell did you get out of that?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah? Well, I wanted to be an actor from a
very early age, and so naturally I went to a
Tiger University, the home of the med school, so that
when my brother went there, my brother's now a surgeon,
and so I just sort of followed him down to
(03:13):
dinners and then figured out that probably not the most
acting opportunities down there, So then I can't went to
Auckland after that to chase the dream.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So your brother became a surgeon, you became a comedian.
I'd like to be your parents.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, yeah, Well my other brother is a he's like
an engineer and sort of fisherman, so he's so Christmas is.
My brother would run the first. The other brother would
sort of sow people up, and I'd just sort of
tell jokes but badly. But yeah, yeah, the surgeon. Surgeons
are hard act to follow. He literally has removed like
(03:48):
cancerous lesions of people. During like family get togethers. He'll
look at someone's face and go, oh, that that needs
to go, and he'll whip out a.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Scalpel and just sort of clip it off and sew
them back up.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, what do you prefer? What do you prefer doing?
Do you have the first stand up comedy or do
you prefer acting? Do you prefer TV shows? What really
gets Josh Thompson going.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I love acting is so good because you don't you're
not responsible for anything. You're responsible for your own stuff.
But you turn up, you know, someone gives you a coffee.
You sit somewhere comfortable. At some point during the day,
someone will say stand here, look that way and say
these words. You do that, and everyone's like, oh my god,
who's this incredible person. I haven't written it. I don't
(04:30):
know where it sits in the store. I shouldn't know
where it' sits in the story. But you know, I'm
not responsible. Like they make you look good, they dress you,
that all the stuff. When you do stand up, you
write the entire thing. You have to do it well.
Sometimes you do the same joke to different crowds and
they react differently. You've got to be on the on
the fly. You've got to adjust. It's it's horrific. I
don't know why I'm doing it, but.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You get nervous as it is.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I'm yeah, I'm renowned for being quite nervous because we've
done a seven days tour for about ten ish years
or something, and there's hundreds of photos of me sitting
in the cornerback stage just sweating this in a pool
of sweat. I think I've gradually built up When I
did the project for a few years in a row,
it was that live audience. I slowly built up a
resilience to live performance. But it's still the thought of
(05:18):
it now, still may think it was six right.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So it's just a heart rate, increase of sweety hands,
feeling of anxiety, I think a.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Lot of it, as well as just terrified that I'll forget.
It's just a long time to be talking and to
forget what you're There's been times when I've gone out
and on the Seven Day Store, I went out in
Hamilton and then there was a couple of thousand people
and well maybe one and half. Anyway, I went out
and I forgot everything and I just stood there and
(05:45):
for about a minute, and everyone thought I was doing
a funny bit. And then the Restless seven Days crew
off stage suddenly realized I had completely forgotten everything, and
then they just started pointing down to my spot and
I realized that I had a cast on and because
I've broken my leg, and so my first joke was
about me having a cast, but I literally forgot that
I was on crutches, and my first joke was a
(06:07):
better crutch, and I had a physical crutch on stage,
and I still forgot when my first.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Joke was, that's just stress, just stress and anxiety. Tell
me about the project. Most people listening to this will
remember you from the project. I mean, you've done a
lot of other stuff Taskmaster in seven days, I get
all that, but most people listening to this show will
know you from from the project. How much of that
was you and how much of it was write you
read this line.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
A lot of it was because it's a fast paced
show and it's TV and it's live that people a
lot of people need to know when what's going to happen,
so they can press the button for this to happen
and the next person to blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
There's a lot of cues, so a lot of the
linking stuff was written, but there would be For me,
there would be like I've come out, come out of
a story. I'd have to say something so that'd queue
up the imagery correctly. Then I could say a joke
or thought something stupid and then they would go somewhere else.
And so I was kind of in charge of stupid,
which was a heavy responsibility. But fortunately everybody else on
(07:07):
the desk was very clever, so even if I derailed
it a little bit, then they could pull it back on.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I want to talk to you also about modern comedy.
I mean, the woke world's changed comedians forever, hasn't it.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
It has, Yeah, it has, but it's not.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I kind of feel like, I mean, I think in
the realm of New Zealand comedy where it is now,
I'm probably falling on the older side. So I haven't
got a lot of experimental or stuff that sort of
pushes boundaries comedically. I've got a much more trodden zone.
(07:46):
I've got my own take on it. But you know,
I'm talking about my wife and talking about my kids.
There's nothing new or experimental. But I think I feel
like there is a bit of a backlash against woke
audiences or whatever. But really a lot of it is
also we've heard all those jokes. We've heard all those jokes,
you know, like you can just write new ones. It's
not that all the challenges. It just challenges you creatatively, creativity, creatively, creatively.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yes, so it's it's.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Not that bad. I don't know why there's such a
terror about we can't make these jokes anymore, just just
right to wright's a new one.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
When I grew up, we had one very very well
known comedian that Billy T. James. Right would he have
survived in the modern world? I mean, and will there
ever be another Billy T. James and New Zealand comedianic
comic history.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
That's a very interesting thing because because I loved Billite
as well, and I think all comedians loved Billy Tea,
but Billy T had an amazing thing going for him
where he was the only comic in New Zealand that
was televised because he was the only one Talibson. I'm
talking the whole country. He was also on repeat for
years and years and years. So New Zealand is burnt
(09:02):
into our retinas. He is our comedian, That's it. And
even the comedians like Lina Tawer or Mafail and gadget brilliant,
brilliant stuff and doing brilliant stuff, but they just didn't
have that years of nationwide like exposure, like they would
play the Ability James specials just year after year after year,
(09:25):
the same one.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I mean, would ever is everybody ever thought about doing, uh,
what's what's a copycat Billy T. James comedy show? You'd
be great for that. You'd shut that bill?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
What an absolute confliment. I loved I'd loved it. I
know that I've done a very serious drama about his life,
but it would be pretty amazing. I mean, I think
I think Billy would just he you know, he made
some amazing jokes. I still quote them myself, and I
just think he would just write new ones. He was
good at adapting to the times and just just being
(10:02):
entertainer like he there was a different style back then,
and I think he would have an amazing new style.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Now talk to me about the International Comedy Festival that's
coming to Wellington. Who Who apart from your show, old Mate,
which I think would be amazing. It sounds great and
I understand totally where you're coming from. Everyone wants to,
you know, with the pressure of bringing up children, in
a relationship, paying the bills, everyone wants to have a moan.
(10:29):
I get it, and I think that would be a
great comic story and I'm looking forward to. Who else
should we not miss out on?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I mean it's some great international acts. I mean I
would if you have the time, I would go and
see an international act and also a local act and
and take a chance on someone you don't know, because
there's some amazing gems out there. I would go see
Reese Matthewson, who's always got an amazing new take on the
(11:01):
state of comedy I think. I mean, there's there's there's
a guy whether you go Montgomery, I think Maley Bracele
was doing. I think like that. There are news on
comics who are literally taken over the world Isla Carson's
Smashing America. Mal Bracewell was making a huge name for
herself in Australia, and so's Guy Montgomery. And weirdly these
(11:25):
our comics sort of have to go overseas to make
it before they kind of taken seriously back home. It's
quite a strange, quite a strange thing that happened. But yeah,
we're doing very well internationally. I think Rayo Larry's coming back.
He's always favorite one as well.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So it's a big week for well in Tonian's big
week for you being back on the road. Are you
okay being on the road with a young family.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I previously have taken my family on the road. It
sounded like a better idea before we did it, but
they were about five and seven now, so you know,
they were in school. They're both in school now, so
this time I will not be taking them on the road,
but I'm only going away for a tiny amount of
time and I one percent won't be monopolizing my time
(12:10):
having a few drinks and sleeping in.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Good on you. Thanks for taking the time to speak
to us a sporting Josh. I appreciate it, and yeah,
I think that your greatest claim to fame is probably
be able to break away from Timuru. That's what I'd put.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You know, I've still got it with me mate.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You know what they say, You know that they say
that ninety seven percent of people die within one mile
or where they were born from that right, well, think
about that.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It would be a beautiful place to die, Thanks Josh,
Thanks to you, thanks all much.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Timrou a wonderful place to die. No, I don't think so,
Josh Thompson.

our comics sort of have to go overseas to make
it before they kind of taken seriously back home. It's
quite a strange, quite a strange thing that happened. But yeah,
we're doing very well internationally. I think Rayo Larry's coming back.
He's always favorite one as well.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So it's a big week for well in Tonian's big
week for you being back on the road. Are you
okay being on the road with a young family.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I previously have taken my family on the road. It
sounded like a better idea before we did it, but
they were about five and seven now, so you know,
they were in school. They're both in school now, so
this time I will not be taking them on the road,
but I'm only going away for a tiny amount of
time and I one percent won't be monopolizing my time
(12:10):
having a few drinks and sleeping in.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Good on you. Thanks for taking the time to speak
to us a sporting Josh. I appreciate it, and yeah,
I think that your greatest claim to fame is probably
be able to break away from Timuru. That's what I'd put.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You know, I've still got it with me mate.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You know what they say, You know that they say
that ninety seven percent of people die within one mile
or where they were born from that right, well, think
about that.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It would be a beautiful place to die, Thanks Josh,
Thanks to you, thanks all much.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Timrou a wonderful place to die. No, I don't think so,
