101: Tom Siegert - Fighting for Comedy

Comedian Tom Siegert got his comedy spark at the Gershwin Room in
St Kilda. His muse was the legendary comedian Greg Fleet.
Today, Tom’s an established comedian in his own right, having
performed on TV and at comedy festivals around Australia, as well
as hosting his own podcast, Good Banter, with fellow
comedian Evan Hocking.


In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast, host Steve Davis
digs deep into Tom’s evolution from one-liner comedian to story
teller, as well as his creation of the comedy character – The
Suburban Footballer. And on the topic of Aussie Rules, you’ll
also hear how Tom stood up to protect his comedy against
formidable Eddie McGuire – former host and president of The Footy
Show and Collingwood Football, respectively.
