his week on Born Funny, we sit down with the hilarious and multi-talented Michelle Brasier, who shares her journey from a tall, awkward kid in Wagga Wagga to one of Australia’s most dynamic performers. Michelle spills on her theatre roots, her love of improv, and how she uses songwriting to sneak in jokes she can’t make up on the fly. We dive into her knack for making people laugh, even when life gets tough—like the time a house fire led to her belting out “Sex on Fire” for weeks afterward. She opens up about loss, resilience, and how tragedy inspired her comedy. Plus, Michelle gives us a peek behind the scenes of Thank God You’re Here and her current musical, Flat Earthers, where her ADHD and improvisation skills shine. Whether it’s tales of her Contiki tour, her early obsession with proving herself, or her surreal encounters with Tim Minchin, Michelle brings unfiltered humor and heart. Tune in for laughs, chaos, and a reminder to always keep a jar of piss nearby—metaphorically speaking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
