Mm.
17:18
And the plumber came today, and I showed him the situation.
17:21
He goes, "Oh, who sleeps in here?" And I was like, "My daughter." And he was like, "Oh." [laughs]

34 MINS LATER

51:53
There's, it's just me wrestling a dog for a little while.
51:57
You'd be a really, just, I mean, not to keep going back to my idea, but you would be a really easy person to just find a lot of evidence.
52:06
[laughs]
16:47
Okay.
16:47
That was scripted.
16:48
But most of, like, you get the script down, and then at the end of it, you, you, you let loose a bit and, and impro- improvise.
16:55
But when you're in the edit, it's surprising how much of it you just come back to the script.
19:44
Because you're like, "I don't even know what's funny anymore."
19:46
Yeah, no, I don't.
19:47
You've, you...
19:48
Yeah, and as a comic, as you would know, Tommy, you don't write things 12 times in a silent room.
2:29
Yeah.
2:29
But then there's people that really, who you're talking to them, often you go, "Brr." Yeah.
2:33
[laughs] Is, is Margie based on one person- No ... or many people? It's an amalgamation of- Yeah, good.
2:39
[laughs] ...
2:39
many people I know, including myself.
2:41
Yeah.
2:41
There's mentalness from me in there.
7:39
I think so.
13:42
Heroes.
13:43
And, and character, like I'm glad, like I'm glad I'm getting g- to do character comedy.
13:48
'Cause I feel like it's been, like that's what we're so good at in Australia, and I feel like it's vanished a bit.
15:57
Yeah.
15:57
But I've been watching it from the outside for a long time.
15:59
But really, most of the inspiration for this is, I mean, you and I are both in the entertainment industry.
2:16
[laughs]
2:19
[laughs] But, like, sometimes it'll, it'll slip out in the h- I'm like, "No, I don't, I don't want you to call me Eddo." I wasn't Eddo until I got into comedy.
2:27
I was Anne.
5:47
Heroes.
5:47
And, and character, like, I'm glad, like, I'm glad I'm getting to do character comedy, 'cause I feel like it's been-Like, that's what we're so good at in Australia, and I feel like it's vanished a bit.
26:59
Is there any wigs involved there or no?
27:01
Do you know that Kitty, this is a, this is the, the biggest friendship act of all time, cut her hair, like, like, cut that fringe for this show.
27:15
[laughs]
27:16
Like, I was like, "Oh, I'm so sorry." Like, that's, yeah, that's, um...
27:19
She did that for me.
27:20
She cut that, and it looks like a wig, but that's her hair.
27:23
She did that.
1:17
Can we just enjoy Anne's character introducing herself?
1:20
[laughs] My name's Margie Argyle, and I've been the artistic director of the Argyle Theater for six years.
1:26
But I'm also a storyteller.
1:27
[crowd cheering] I'm a truth custodian.
1:30
I'm a disruptor.
1:31
I'm a witch.
1:32
[laughs]
2:41
Is there any wigs involved there or no?
