This was the first live podcast recording of The Little Dum Dum Club

at The Joint Bar on Elizabeth Street.

Approaching it I wasn’t sure what to think, this end of Elizabeth Street is not really the nicest part of Elizabeth Street, with its 24 hour pizza place and 24 hour Maccas.

But, inside The Join Bar it wasn’t that bad, rather surprising when I actually got up there.

I managed to get a seat at the front and on the end which was nice, it meant leg room. Something I don’t quite obsess over, but sitting for an hour I like to shift my legs around a little bit.

The guests for today were

Ronny Chieng , Fiona O'Loughlin and Josh Earl.

Like I said in my commentary, musings and reflection on the live podcast recording of I Love Green Guide Letters this podcast is also an opportunity to see three different comedians each time and two same comedians (Tommy Dassalo and Karl Chandler) each time. For what is a small amount of money compared to some shows. $20 a ticket or $40 for the season pass.

With The Little Dum Dum Club you also get a bonus show at the end of the comedy festival the now famously infamous “DrunkCast” right at the end of the festival which you can only get into if you’ve got a ticket to the previous show on that day.

Unlike the I Love Green Guide Letters live podcast there is less format to The Little Dum Dum Club so everything’s a little more free flowing and random. There was a performance of “Rad Dad” Australia’s longest running comedic serialised audio production based on a Target catalogue and a failed audition.

It’s always an amazing spectacular which Dassalo and Chandler manage to keep controlled most of the time and they always have fantastic guests which you would pay a lot more to say. As I think Dassalo said at the end venue (the Joint Bar) is probably the smallest venue you’re likely to see any of their guests in and that they usually get guests that are much bigger than themselves.

It’s really worth it and it’s early in the day so there’s enough time to go and see them and do some shopping or grab a really early dinner or late afternoon tea before going and seeing some more comedy.
