094: Simon Kennedy – Crossing the line and the Art of Happiness

In comedy timing is everything. But when you're a radio host, you
manage time like a fine art. So says Sydney based
comedian Simon Kennedy, a former radio host and 20 year
veteran of stand-up comedy.


In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode,
host Steve Davis talks to comedian Simon Kennedy about MCing
comedy, 'cancel culture', the green-room hypocrisy, empathy, and
sadly his mum's passing in the September 11 attacks. Simon also
opens up about his own comedy career, his love of competition in
comedy, and adapting to Covid-19 with pantless Zoom comedy. Yes,
for Simon constraint is the mother of invention.
