The Saturday Quiz

Two actors, both alike in intellect, in fair zoom meeting where we lay our quiz.
That’s right my friends, we’ve gone full Shakespeare for this one because this episode's guests, Charles and Josephine Mayer, live and breathe the Bard.
Their theatre company - which is named after a quote from the Scottish Play "Come You Spirits" - has for the last few years been producing exclusively the works of William Shakespeare in some wild surrounds - including on board a tall ship sailing on Sydney Harbour, the sands of a riverbank and atop a Full Scale Granite Replica of Stonehenge in Western Australia.
It seems almost pedestrian that they’re about to perform their pared back Romeo and Juliet in an actual theatre!

Widely considered the nicest person in showbiz, Claire Hooper is a delight on this episode.
Her latest hour of comedy is called Fun Show - see it as part of the Sydney Comedy Festival at the Enmore on this Saturday 5pm and Sunday 4pm - perfect for those of you who may’ve forgotten to get anything for your mum for Mother’s Day.

Two of the three actors from the current Australian tour of the Yasmina Reza hit play Art. Damon and Toby have both done an episode or two of this podcast before. Clever chaps the pair of them.

This pair are two of my favourite guests to have on the show. And I'm so grateful they're back for another go after hitting the highs of a residency in Las Vegas!
See their shows if you possibly can. They're both somehow whip smart and totally stupid. A perfect mix.

One more week to go of The Melbourne International Comedy Festival!
You’re never too young to be introduced to the concept of comedy. And the guest on this episode is an award winning comedian doing a show which aims to do just that. In his character of Signor Baffo, Josh Burton provides an hour of family fun in his chaotic comedy kitchen.
