Dane Simpson chats the Riverina Comedy Club, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and the Adelaide Fringe

Josh is joined by Wagga comedian Dane Simpson. Dane is currently doing his first solo run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2019. The man has had a crazy 2018 and 2019: including MICF 2018, The Adelaide Fringe Festival, festivals in Perth, 'Have You Been Paying Attention', and expanding his hometown comedy scene.


Josh and Dane chat about the following:
• Dane’s Big Night at the MICF 2019.
• How did Dane get his start in Podcasting, and how important was his family in developing his storytelling abilities?
• How did the Riverina Comedy Club come to be, and how does Dane and his team pick good local talent to put on-stage?
• What did Dane learn about comedy at the Adelaide Fringe 2019, and what was his two-man Fringe Show Aborigi-LOL about?
• How does Dane see his career progressing and where does Wagga fit into that picture?
