Description

Born Funny is a podcast that tackles one burning question: are you born funny? The series takes a light-hearted dive into the lives of Australia’s top comedians and personalities, exploring the moment they first realised they could make people laugh – and whether they think humour is an innate gift or something learned along the way.


​In each episode, Jimmy & Nath chat with some of the country’s funniest figures, including Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes, Nick Cody, Geraldine Hickey, Luke McGregor, Cal Wilson, Gen Fricker, and LiSTNR’s Aunty Donna and Matt Okine. These conversations are filled with laughs, quirky stories, and plenty of surprises as they uncover the origins of their guests’ comedic talents.


As lifelong fans of all things funny, Jimmy & Nath aren’t just here for the punchlines – they’re on a mission to find out if their guests truly believe they were born funny. And, of course, you can count on plenty of laughs along the way, with Jimmy & Nath’s signature humour making each episode a riot from start to finish.

Daniel Muggleton is one of Australia’s sharpest and most fearless comedic voices right now. The man in a red tracksuit whose honesty hits harder than his punchlines, and whose energy is impossible to ignore. In this laugh-out-loud and honest chat with Jimmy & Nath, Daniel opens up about carving a comedy career across small Aussie clubs to sold-out shows overseas, the weirdest gigs he’s ever done, and the art of turning brutal honesty into comedy gold. From Zoom shows in COVID lockdown with comedy legends to experimenting with social commentary that makes audiences squirm and laugh at the same time, Daniel proves he’s just as fearless as he is funny. He talks about growing up wanting to make people laugh, the bold choices that shaped his stage presence, and why he believes the key to connecting with an audience is being unapologetically yourself.

Teddy Swims is one of the biggest breakout stars in global music right now! A soulful powerhouse with a heart as big as his voice, and a personality that’s just as loud. In this laugh-out-loud and surprisingly honest chat with Jimmy & Nath, Teddy opens up about his dream of being a stand-up comedian, why he’s got Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan tattooed on his body (yes, literally on his butt), and the chaotic story of showing his tattoos to Adam Sandler at a Knicks game. From forgetting the first line of his hit “Lose Control” mid-show to his love of Happy Gilmore, fart jokes, and UV light tattoos, Teddy proves he’s just as funny as he is talented. He talks about growing up wanting to make people laugh, how comedy shaped his stage presence, and why he believes the key to performing, and life, is not taking yourself too seriously. The boys also dive into his love for Australia, the importance of surrounding yourself with good people, and how he learned to stop writing for others and start writing for himself. It’s raw, hilarious, and full of heart... exactly what you’d expect from a man who can’t swim but somehow keeps floating to the top.

Ross Noble is a surreal comedy innovator, improviser, and performer who transformed early curiosity into a wild career on stages around the world. In this fun and revealing chat with Jimmy & Nath, Ross takes us back to where it all began: as a teenager, he taught himself to juggle and ride unicycles, busked in Newcastle, and discovered stand-up for the first time after winning tickets to a comedy show at 15... a moment that lit the fire. From border-crossing shows in the UK and Australia to appearing on major panel shows like Have I Got News For You, to earning critical acclaim (including a nomination from the Olivier Awards for his role in Young Frankenstein), Ross shares what it really takes to make it in comedy without ever losing your weird. They dive into how comedy doesn’t always follow a script - how nights off could become tangents, how the audience can steer the show, and why some of his most memorable moments were totally unplanned.

CYRIL: The KingPin DJ

CYRIL: The KingPin DJ

2025-09-1851:08

Cyril is the Australian DJ and producer behind some of TikTok’s biggest remix moments, from Stumblin' In to There She Goes, but these days, he’s chasing something much bigger than viral hits. In this honest and hilarious chat with Jimmy & Nath, Cyril takes us back to where it all began: DJing in the bowling alley called KingPin, wild benders through Europe, and his slightly chaotic obsession with Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. He opens up about the double-edged sword of TikTok success, why going viral started to feel like selling his soul, and how the pressure of remixing hundreds of tracks made him fall out of love with his own music. Now, Cyril is hitting reset, scrubbing his socials, rebranding from the ground up, and focusing on what really matters: making music he’s proud to play in clubs around the world. He even teases his next big move, heading to LA to write a full original pop album with some of the best in the business. They talk about burnout, reinvention, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is start again.

They dive into his love of absurd humour, the art of writing jokes that sound smart but are deeply silly, and how confidence is a work in progress, even when you’re crushing it on stage.
