About this listen

The Comedy Writers Group is here to get into the weeds of all things comedy. We're determined to de-mystify the worlds of stand-up comedy, sketch, and screenwriting in an effort to make this world a lot more approachable for newcomers.


This podcast is designed to get you inspired to create.


Perfect for folks interested in getting to comedy as a career, hobby, or just the comedy-curious.

  • Group Workshop (with Maggie Baker, Marnie Mills, and Freya Morton)

    Group Workshop (with Maggie Baker, Marnie Mills, and Freya Morton)
    Sep 8 2025

    It's time for a Group Workshop episode! I'm joined by up-and-coming comedians (and CWG members) Maggie Baker, Marnie Mills, and Freya Morton for a comedy roundtable. We swap jokes, stories, and advice.

    We cover a lot of ground in this episode from how to end a story, dealing with heavy subject matter, structuring a show, and a whole lot of ADULTS ONLY content that will sound too strange outside of context.

    On this week's bonus episode I'm joined by Chris McAllister AKA The Trans Comedian (boasting 49.1K followers on instagram!) to chat about going into comedy full-time. We talk about the first gig, making stuff for the internet, we workshop a new joke, and more.

    Chris is a member of the CWG and I always love platforming our members. Catch Chris and a line-up of gender-diverse comedians at the Sydney Fringe.

    Don't Be Precious (with Dan Connell)

    This week I'm joined by the brilliant Dan Connell (Have You Been Paying Attention, MICF Gala) to chat about his latest special Little Aussie Battler available to watch now on Youtube. We chat about Dan's fifteen years in stand-up, his relationship with bells and whistles, the value of management, and how he approaches filming his work.
