BONUS: The wait is (almost) over...

With Sam and my mum's co-host auditions complete, this weekend I decided to catch up with them both one last time to see if this helped me make my final decision. Plus, I dig out audio of the first time I ever cried on the internet, reminisce about a homeless man I befriended and tried to bring home as a teenager and welcome a wild card into the studio. Well, I wouldn't say welcome, more they arrived at my door for an unplanned audition.  Occasionally Funny is the side pod to MAFS Funny and drops new "main" episodes every Wednesday morning - with an occasional bonus one throughout the week, like this one here.

My very awkward debut stand-up comedy set

As Sam from Married At First Sight and my mum now work on their co-host audition episodes, this week I'm facing my fear of public speaking my performing by debut stand-up comedy set to a small group of people.  And after writing a self-deprecating set about growing up as a millennial online that I thought my audience would relate to, the whole thing quickly fell apart.  Please follow the new Instagram for @OccasionallyFunnyPod [https://www.instagram.com/occasionallyfunnypod/].  Occasionally Funny eps are auto sharing into the MAFS Funny feed to start, but please search and sub directly to Occasionally Funny on Apple [https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/occasionally-funny/id1894957498] and Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/4wCU5mIcc4QOqY2fceaeqc?si=8fb8adc72d2c4fc9].  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
