Hey — happy Friday! Welcome to the bonus episode of Yes Yes Yes Comedy, where we kick back with our special guest Ferla (musician, writer, actor) for a rambly, warm, and totally charming chat. Expect Melbourne vibes, festival plans, gigs, and that lovely bonus-episode energy you didn’t know you needed.

Quick heads-up: grab tickets for the live show on Friday, September 19 at 10pm at Comedy Republic — the lineup is loud and delicious: Tim Hewitt, Tricksy Collins, Belinda Anderson-Hunt, Ben McCarthy, Hannah Camilleri, Greg Larsen, and Stuart Daulman. It’s a proper night out — don’t miss it.

We drift through little slices of life: Ferla’s phone background (Melbourne Museum), the realities of festival life (Melbourne’s the big one), possible plans for Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and even Edinburgh Fringe, and the joy of combining music and comedy. There’s talk of gigs at spots like Northgate Social Club and the Old Bar, and a cheeky invite to come play music overseas — yes please.

Food and domestic life come up too — crumbed whiting, who does the cooking at home (spoiler: Furla loves it), and an amusing confessional about wanting to support more live comedy. We also touch on Japan travel plans, seeing baseball there (Osaka Tigers shoutout), and the small pleasures of planning trips that mix music and family.

Fan mail makes an appearance — big love to Mick (and Trevor the Whippet) — and a fun note about the theme tune: it’s by comedian Matt Jenner. We also drop a big shout-out to Hannah Camilleri and a few classic tangents that only a bonus episode can hold.

We wrap with the kind of loose, friendly banter that makes this show feel like catching up with mates: movie mysteries left unsolved, festival dreams, and the constant hum of music in the background. Thanks for listening — subscribe, come to the show on Sept 19, and enjoy the bonus ep.
