Guest Interviews

Actor and comedian Courtney Eggleton drops by the 95bFM studio ahead of her performances at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. She and Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason discuss funny business, serious acting — including why you should go to drama school — and East Auckland. (Tāmaki is a small town.) We also find out what to expect from Courtney's new show Delicate Flowers, which is billed as an "amalgamation of your worst nightmares and your hottest wet dreams". It's on at Q Theatre Cellar on May 21 and 22. Tickets here.

Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason chats to award-winning comedian Marshall Lorenzo ahead of his New Zealand International Comedy Festival appearances, where he'll present his new sketch show Serving Can't. The pair discuss the crushing weight of capitalism, audience etiquette and what it was like working on Drag Race Canada. Marshall's performing in Tāmaki Makaurau on May 7, 8 and 9 at Basement Theatre for the Comedy Festival, and tells us you can enjoy 20% off tickets with the code GOODCANT.

Silas McClintock joins Emma Gleason to discuss his new Silas Futura album Life Begins After Despair and the road to get there, logging off, and how he found a sense of community in taonga pūoro. For those looking to learn more about it, Silas recommends this Facebook group as a good place to start.
