In this week's episode of "Born Funny," Jimmy and Nath welcome Heath Franklin, the comedic genius behind Australia's most iconic Chopper Read impersonation. Heath takes listeners on a hilarious journey through his career, from his early days in sketch comedy to becoming one of Australia's most beloved character comedians. Heath shares the accidental origins of his Chopper impersonation, inspired by Eric Bana's portrayal, and how he's kept the character fresh for nearly two decades. He discusses his recent decision to tour as himself, which paradoxically led him to appreciate Chopper even more, and reveals the story behind his one surreal encounter with the real Chopper Read. The conversation covers Heath's brief stint in law school, his philosophy on accessible comedy, and the challenges of character comedy in Australia. He also drops pearls of wisdom about comedy writing, avoiding audience stereotypes, and crafting jokes that resonate with diverse crowds. Heath Franklin proves that after 20 years, there's still plenty of life left in the Chopper character and in Heath Franklin.  TUNE IN AS HEATH FRANKLIN SITS DOWN WITH JIMMY & NATH TO FIND OUT IF HE WAS BORN FUNNY!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The King and Queen of England visited Parramatta Park for the ultimate BBQ, with only esteemed members of the public getting an invite. Needless to say, we didn't snag an invite but that didn't stop Nath from hosting his own Roye-L BBQ just up the path.  We gave the members of the public on the other side of the fence free sausages on our Webber, made friends with the Police, met our oldest listener at 103 years old and tried to launch some Tim Tams through the window of King Charles' car. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
