Damien Power is one of the most exhilarating voices in Australian comedy. His bold, thought-provoking stand-up has made him a three-time nominee for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and taken him all around the globe. His latest special, Not So Funny Now Is It?, is now streaming on YouTube.

In this episode we discuss neatly treading the line, the trap of chasing industry validation through awards, shooting a short film featuring his IndyCar driver brother, "nutting it out", believing in the bit and the pressure to achieve.
