047: The Kagools – Building a comedic brand on slapstick

03/03/18 • 31 min

The Kagools are an award winning, mute physical comedy duo from the UK. Off stage they are the talkative Claire Ford and Nicky Wilkinson.

In this interview you’ll learn about the dangers of slapstick, rocking up on stranger’s doorsteps, how to build a brand in comedy through longevity, and the upside of being a double-act. You’ll also get advice on clowning, and how to write new material.

And if you’re interested in seeing The Kagools in any of the Australian comedy festivals in 2018, then log onto www.thekagools.com and get your tickets for Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, or Sydney Comedy Festival.

048: Damian Callinan – Espy zero to Wagga Wagga hero

Damian Callinan is one of Australia’s most versatile performers. Actor, writer and comedian all rolled into one.

As you’ll hear in this School of Hard Knock Knocks’ podcast Damian’s journey to comedy began as dabbling in theatre, then dying at the Espy, competing at Raw Comedy, before jumping into the movies – including his most recent comedy movie, The Movie.

Damian Callinan is a Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala and Road Show performer, and one of Australia’s funniest comedians, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy this episode.
