John Cruckshank is a comedian, and a licensed electrician who runs his own business, Redfern Electrical. The two paths were intertwined in John's mockumentary YouTube series, also titled Redfern Electrical. Inspired by his authentic experiences of being an electrician with dreams of stand-up, the series blurs the lines between fiction and reality. In this great conversation with Wil, John tells the story of his path to comedy, performing stand-up as a 10-year-old, his love of skateboarding and basketball and much more.  Watch the Redfern Electrical web series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3k0ckYoXqg See Wil on tour: https://comedy.com.au/tour/wil-anderson/  Support Everyone Relax on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everyonerelax  Everyone Relax on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/everyone.relax/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
