Ep 17- Is Vivid In Its Flop Era? With Annie Boyle

The festival that lights up Sydney every winter has been drawing more and more criticism of late, with the latest debacle following the malfunctioned drone show that saw 90 drones fall into the harbour. So are the rumours true? Is Vivid actually washed? Nathan Roach thinks so, and he joins me on the show this week to explain why. Alongside Mark Williamson, the three of us attempt to come up with some solutions to bring Vivid back to it's prime. But are they viable? And whose idea will Nathan like better?! Also on the show is comedian Annie Boyle [https://www.instagram.com/annieboyle_/]! Annie has been performing stand up around the country for many years now, but has far more strings to her bow than that! A graduate of NIDA she has some proper acting chops, which she was able to show off in a few episodes of Colin From Accounts. Annie joined me in the Sydney Tonight studios to talk about her time studying under one of her heroes: Sonia from McLeod's Daughters, as well as what life was like growing up in the small town of Henty in regional NSW. And finally, with the Sydney Film Festival all but upon us I put movies under the microscope this week by testing how realistic their plots are. Specifically, the classic movie troupe where one person tries to be in two places at once! You sometimes see in movies and sitcoms a character inviting two different people to the same place and having to continuously switch between them without either getting suspicious. So this week on the show, I tried to do exactly that. Did I succeed though? Or are movies actually onto something? You'll have to listen to find out. Sydney Tonight is the talk show our city has been crying out for! Covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, this show proves that despite it all, Sydney is the best city in the world. So whether you’re in Chatswood or Cherrybrook, Blacktown or Bankstown, Parramatta or Penrith- ring in each weekend with Sydney Tonight.

Ep 16- Can I Make A Vape From Scratch? With Keli Holiday

In what is the biggest show in Sydney Tonight's storied history, I am going to attempt to solve the vaping crisis(?) with one simple invention. Can I create the world's first ever healthy vape?

And finally, the walls hung heavy around Casa Sydney Tonight this week as we had to farwell foundation member of the team, Annabelle Moore.

BONUS- What Do They Call HSP's In New Zealand? With David Correos

After taking a little trip across the ditch recently, I was shocked to discover that the Halal Snack Pack is known by another name in Aotearoa New Zealand. To help explain that (and several other cultural differences between our nations), comedian David Correos kindly joined me in the Sydney Tonight studios! David is one of the most exciting and unpredictable comedians not just in New Zealand, but almost definitely the Southern Hemisphere. If you've ever seen him perform before then you'll know that it's impossible to see where his shows will go, and that is what people keep coming back for! He'll be touring the Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this year so if you feel like heading over to Scotland for some comedy then I can't recommend him enough. Otherwise David is always floating around Sydney from time to time and is easy to catch on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/davidpostoffice/]!

Ep 15- Why You Should Be Using Wikipedia with David Correos

If you've found yourself turning to your AI chat bot instead of Wikipedia over the last few years, I'm sorry to say, but you've made a big mistake! Huge! And in this week's episode of Sydney Tonight, I'm going to show you why... by giving away free beef to the people of Five Dock. Another suburb will also get its flowers tonight as I cast my eyes over to Chatswood, a suburb that exists not only here in Sydney but also in Auckland! So while I was over in New Zealand recently, I took a trip over to Chatswood in Auckland to see which one is better. And finally, you'll also hear from comedian David Correos! David has been in the stand up game for many years now, making a name for himself as one of New Zealand's most exciting (and sometimes confronting) comics. David describes himself as "nomadic" but still found time to call the Sydney Tonight studios home while he was visiting for the Sydney Comedy Festival. We spoke about his nomadic lifestyle and his would-be career as a professional weightlifter. Sydney Tonight is the talk show our city has been crying out for!
