Ever worked in hospitality and felt like you were stuck in a never-ending episode of Groundhog Day? SAME. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my chaotic (and hilarious) time working in restaurants and bars — where boredom inspired absolute madness.

I’m spilling the tea on how I would spice up the endless shift grind by putting on completely random accents and convincing tables I was from far-off exotic lands (spoiler: it got weird).

I’ll also share the wild tactics we used to get stubborn customers OUT of the restaurant after closing time — no shame, no rules, just pure survival mode.

And to top it off, hear the true story of how some drunk, pretty girls were bullying an awkward guy at the bar… and how we decided to flip the script and turn him into the star of the night.

It’s messy, it’s chaotic, it’s hospitality life at its unhinged best. Let’s get into it!

Ever been to a comedy night that felt like a fever dream? I did — inside a casino, no less. This week, I’m dishing all the chaotic, hilarious details about my trip to a stand-up show at Star City Casino on the Gold Coast — a venue that looks like a sci-fi church designed by someone mid-mushroom trip.

The comedians? Genuinely brilliant. The audience? A glorious mess of tipsy tourists, freebie-chasing locals, and people who may have taken a wrong turn on the way to the pokies. It’s like a comedy club met a reality show and no one told the crowd.

Why is the weirdest audience also the best audience? Is free stand-up a magnet for beautiful oddballs? Tune in and find out why this bizarre night might just be every comedian’s wildest dream (or mildest nightmare).

This week, I’m reaching into the archives — like way back — to share something that means a lot to me. 8 years ago, I made a short film. I was fresh into the acting world, full of hope, nerves, and a deep sense of “who even am I?”

As a young Aussie actor, I quickly discovered that being born here didn’t always mean I “looked” the part. I wasn’t the stereotypical blonde-haired, blue-eyed beach boy — and that reality hit hard when I kept getting rejected for roles that supposedly represented the very country I grew up in. Ooft. That’ll shake the ol’ identity tree.

This short film was born out of that confusion, frustration, and (let’s be honest) a good splash of imposter syndrome. I thought I was the only one feeling this way. Turns out? Nope. A whole lot of us are on this emotional rollercoaster — questioning our worth, our place, and whether we belong in an industry that often forgets to tell us: “Hey, you’re enough.”

So, in this episode, I’m sharing the words I wish I heard back then. The ones I needed. The ones that still hit me in the heart today. This is for any actor out there feeling lost, doubtful, or like they’re the only one struggling — I promise you, you’re not alone.
