I was already heading to the city to see two other comedy shows and was looking around at what else was on in the city and saw on Twitter that this was going to be on.

It was in the same room as The Little Dum Dum Club live podcast was held, although the audience was much more...compact.

It was kinda nice seeing a live podcast that was much more intimate with fewer people. I wouldn't say I've been seeing the Little Dum Dum Club live since they started doing live podcasts, but certainly seeing them in much smaller venues with much more intimate crowds in the audience. It's a much more raucous affair now that they've headliners of an international podcast festival.

The Male Gayz is a podcast where friends Eli Matthewson and Chris Parker have a chat. I like listening to it because it's funny and kinda calming, they're both New Zealanders and I kinda quite like their accent, it's nice, like being wrapped in a vocal hug.

This episode they were joined by Rhys Nicholson, who brought on with him a bowl of chips he'd been eating. I mention this only because he requested a table for the chips and was provided a stool, but did not eat any of the chips once he was provided with a stool for them.

All drinking white wine. Bowl of chips on its own stool.

This live recording was nice, funny, a little sad in places. Full of remembrances of growing up. Of white wine, parents and being caught watching porn.

There's podcasts aplenty of the podcast and also video versions on YouTube that follow the same format as the podcast.

I think seeing live podcasts is a great way to see comedians during the festival unrehearsed, just chatting about stuff. It's a great and cheap way to get a sampling of them, without committing to go to a whole show.
