Episode 9: Alex Stringer

Have you ever done a clean show with kids in it? Um...

um no no no the closest I would say I've got to is well no so I have a couple of instances so I my nieces are six and nine they they've been like oh tell us a joke um and I've been like oh I don't think you'd like them um so I told someone else's joke and and said it wasn't my joke but it was a very very kid-friendly joke and so they were like great so even though I didn't tell them that they're like oh my auntie's comedian she told me this joke even though it's not hers um my partner's brother is um has autism and um he um I tried a few jokes out on him and he was like, don't get it.

So I told him that other joke as well.

And he also thought that was great.

I'm like selling that other person's joke and just, I don't know who it is.

I should credit them.

But I did do a gig fairly recently in the last year or two.

And there was a 12 year old in the audience and they mentioned it straight up the top.

But like mum and dad were like, yeah, we don't really care.

And I actually have a joke about an orgy.

Yeah.

Which sounds, thank you, but like, it's not, I'm not in the orgy.

I just feel like I want to say that.

I don't know if anyone would care.

It's about a orgy.

It's about, yeah, an orgy that exists that I'm not a part of.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

No, sex positive.

Or do what you want to do.

But she laughed.

The kid laughed.

Oh, I mean, look, kids laugh at things that they're not supposed to.

100%.

It's just so funny because I've had instances of like, oh, there's a child in the audience, but they're like, don't care, just do a regular set.

And I'm like, I didn't realise how much of my set is about my boobs.
