Tony Martin’s SIZZLETOWN
Welcome to SIZZLETOWN, the award-winning ‘late-night call-in podcast’, hosted by comedian and broadcaster Tony Martin, with Matt Dower on the ‘pots n pans’. All the callers and guests are played by Martin, via the elaborate editing and sound design of fellow ‘Get This’ veteran Dower. What starts as a fairly straightforward concept (with just three sound effects) becomes steadily more complex, with full-blown musical numbers, multi-caller forums and a talking cat. WARNING: Frequent foul language, and concepts both adult and juvenile.

WARNING: Proper SIZZLETOWN returns next month. This is yet another ‘unplugged’ episode with no callers, just Tony recalling every movie he saw in 1988, playing an unearthed piece of ‘Martin/Molloy’, and revealing the origin of the ‘Warren Perso’ sketch.
The 2025 season finale, with Dave Clacton, Dion, The Pikelet Man, Patrick Paget, Shane [REDACTED], Cratog Carabasirica, Reg Tankwater, Jeff Goldblum, Ronnie Bung, John Cooper Clarke, Crackers & the Tugboat, and of course, Pete Smith, Davey Lane, and far too many songs.
Niles Nyquist is bemused, The Pikelet Man is amused, Jason Statham is confused, and the show itself stands accused (of poor taste).
Reg Tankwater has solved the energy crisis, Cratog Carabasirica has almost assimilated, Bumblethwaite Cumblethwim has pulled out, and Wolford Pontoon steps in.
The Hater is unimpressed by his local charity shop, several callers are being cheated on, sergeants York & Sargent are back, and there’s another disappointing quiz.
Shane [REDACTED] has a new theory, Barry Football has a new explanation, The Pikelet Man has a new joke, and Tony has recorded his police interview.
Podworx is under siege, Dion is beating AI to all the good ideas, and Dave Clacton is attempting to ‘uncancel’ a controversial comedian.
The Hater is up in the air, Niles Nyquist crosses the border, and Simon Haight knows who can get Australia back on track.
The voters are undecided, Lorna Palethorpe is unclear, Peregrine Haste is unable to comment, and Tony gets a guilt trip from his chiropractor.
Dion has invented a new game, The Pikelet Man can’t be fooled, Tony visits the ‘living theatre’, and Matt is forced to use the Dump Button.
Cratog Carabasirica is unimpressed with our electoral candidates, Shane [REDACTED] is being used to train Chinese AI, Bryan Lyons is back at the ‘office’, and there’s another live footy call.
WARNING: Normal SIZZLETOWN returns next month. This is an ‘unplugged’ episode, where Tony answers all your questions with the aid of footage and diagrams.
WARNING: Not a proper episode of SIZZLETOWN – it’s another ‘unplugged’ episode with no callers, just Tony recalling every movie he saw in 1987, playing an old sketch, and recalling the time he foolishly attempted to talk about sport.
The 2024 season finale, with Dion, Dave Clacton, Reg Tankwater, The Pikelet Man, The Hater, Shane [REDACTED], Patrick Paget, Cratog Carabasirica, Ronnie Bung, Crackers & the Tugboat and…Bob Dylan? Plus, as tradition demands, Pete Smith, Davey Lane, and more songs than would seem necessary.
