Ep 66: Sammy J touched his teacher’s bra
This week on ‘Work Hates’ we talk to comedian, ex-radio host and national icon, Sammy J! He is a household name who is arguably the most loveable man on the planet, so he took us through some chapters of his life that shocked us. For example, the time he worked in a store where is was made to feel invisible, or the time he was a teenager and an established performer told him to “f**k off”. Sammy is a gifted storyteller, so everything he brought to the podcast was gripping and we left this conversation better people. We absolutely loved this chat with Sammy J, so treat yourself and enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 65: Andrew Portelli used to catfish paedophiles for fun.
This week we chat to standup comedian and ex-lawyer Andrew Portelli. He is one of the best joke writers in the business, but before he was a gig pig, he was a prosecutor where he sent bad guys to jail. Andrew explains that he started his work as a modern day hero as a young age when he catfished creeps online ‘for fun’. The man is twisted as shit, but we love him dearly. We had a great time chatting with Andrew, so please enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 64: Blake Pavey’s internet trolls don’t even scratch the surface
This week on ‘Work Hates’ we have a yarn with TikTok sensation, stand-up comedian and Steve Irwin impersonator, Blake Pavey. He became an online staple during COVID as a highschool student, and his comedic talents have grown from strength to strength. Blake’s early success means he hasn’t had many jobs, but the jobs he did have, he was pretty shit at. You dodged a bullet, Reject Shop! We asked him about nightmare gigs and he shared a corker that involved Wil Anderson and a crying man. Bliss. We loved this chat with Blake Pavey, and we know you will too!
