Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for another Fringe Festival act with Cleazy and Lisa.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Said Fringe Festival act is Luke Boland, who is with
us now, Good morning morning.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
It's great to get that circus introduction.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
It was a bit circusy.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
How to Live Forever is your show at the Laugh
Resort in the city this weekend Friday to Sunday. You've
got a few things happening, but let's talk about To
begin with how to Live Forever, It's about making and
leaving your mark on the world.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, that's exactly what it's about.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Because I know I can't afford it.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
No one can. That's the problem. But it's finding out
how else you can live forever.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
So ignoring super and all that rubbish. Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
So it's just a fun show that analyzes the different
ways you can leave a legacy because a lot of
people think that, you know, just because I have kids,
I can leave a legacy.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
And the truth is, to me, kids are just a
lot like farts.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know. I can tolerate my own hell sometimes I'm
out of them, but other people just make me sick.
They make me think, what the hell did you put
in your body to make.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
That come out?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
You know, socia, it's looking at other ways to leave
the legacy. Any suggestions, Yeah, but there's a whole The
show is just chocked full of them.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
So you could, you know, write a hit song.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
You could become a political leader, you could become a
serial killer.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I mean there's some ways that are better than others.
I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, Modu sill a serial killer.
You still get male when you're in jail. It's true.
It's true.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
And I mean, who doesn't know Jack the Ripper? It
true puts you in the history books forever.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
It does.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
So the best part about the show I wanted to
share with you. I start with a little a rap
that recaps the last twelve months that I'd love to
share with you because I think who doesn't want to
start that Tuesday morning with a white boy from Gosnell's
wrapping at them. Lets so goes Hey, Closey and Lisa.

(01:58):
It's twenty twenty five. The economy screwed. What a time
to be alive. The population of the Earth keeps getting higher,
mostly because of Dave Grol from the Food Fighters.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's like the Earth's got a virus and there is
no cure.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
The latest millionaire is a girl who says hawked tour
in the USA. Trunk got elected a second term. It's
like going to school in Gosnel's. They never ever learned.
But go easy on America. They're not the only ones.
I mean, Australia is responsible for releasing ray Gun, a
thirty seven year old white woman's the best breakdancer in Australia.
I'd make fun of her more, but she's got twelve
lawyers on retainer. The world is dark and scary. I

(02:30):
can make it that much better. Just come and see
my show. It's called How to Live Forever.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, there's a legacy right there. That's gold well, very good.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Raygan has already lived too long.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
It's gonna be fifteen minutes by now. I'm very quick
to shut the show down though, weren't they? Oh so
that person had to put on at that festival?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Insane?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
They came back again, didn't it.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
I believe so. The new title and poster they work
their way around. I like that. It's funny though, because
I lost interest in the story.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, now, tell us about the game show that you're hosting.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's a live game show.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
My wife and I got super into the pop Culture
Jeopardy on Amazon Prime, and I'm like, I love game
shows again, I want to.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Do one that one.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, that way, I love that.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
And so I put together just three different game shows
that are on specific topics. So it's a little bit
like hard quiz, but the audience shows up if they're
fans of that topic. I pull up audience members to
compete against each other until we get ultimate winners who
take home actual trophies engraved for them. So there's a
quiz on the WWE, there's a quiz on The Simpsons,

(03:38):
and then there's a family friendly one on the TV
show Bluey the People. Yeah, so it's a real game
show where the audience members will will compete.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
To see who is the biggest super fan of that topic.
This is where you have a professional engraver sitting at
the back way.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
A trophy with everybody's.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Actually that just reminds you are a huge WWWE fan.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Actually I am a massive wrestling fan. Yeah right, yeah,
I've forgotten.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I'm heading off to Brisbane next month because the All
Elite Wrestling is coming to for the first time to Australia,
So I'm heading over front row to see that.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Okay, massive nerd. You're not going to hide it.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
You might try to finish a move on one of
us before the end of the year.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Let's see how that goes. How do you have super fans?
You have fans or people who rock up every year
to your shows? Yeah, every time.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Well, this is my eleventh year in a row doing
a brand new hour of comedy at French World, which
is a festival record, and so I kind of built
an audience of people who know that the shows are
pretty good when I do them, and so they'll come
along each year. So you get the kind of regulars
which is lovely to see, and they'll kind of hang
out because they know that each year it's going to
be an entirely new hour of comedy and so yeah,

(04:53):
they'll come and check me out each year, which is awesome.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I love seeing their familiar faces.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
You're very brave, I've always thought, because.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
You've never hide away from live interaction shows. A lot
of your shows have been had live interaction. But it's
got to be fraught with fraudness. What anything is there
anything that stands out?

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Boys, you know something? You thought? I don't know if
I'm going to be able to rain this person.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Making so many times it's that weird thing of like
I've encouraged it by talking to them, so I can't
now say security, get rid of them.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
That's They're now just part of the show.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
And I'm stuck with this drunk person just talking back
at me and answering everything I.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Say, like it's a question. So that becomes fine.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know when you watch Jerry Springer, I need to
talk to someone in the audience or Ricky Lake or something,
and they grabbed the mic.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, it's something that comes their own show. It's now
the Billy Bob Show. It's like, I'll take it from here, Jerry.
And if the name's Billy Bob, you're gotta be worried.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, there's a bit of that on.
