So, you know, it was like...

Aunty Mavis turned up.

She's 94.

Wow.

94, Mavis.

So I did put on my Instagram a photo with Mavis, who looks great, and I said she's the last of her generation alive, you know.

Then my sister texted me saying, you've got two uncles who are alive as well.

Anyway.

Uncle Ted and Uncle Len, I'm sorry I didn't know you were live.

So I've got to catch up with them.

I'm sure they're huge listeners of Think Perfect.

For anyone to do stand-up comedy, just to walk on this stage, whether you get one laugh or zero laughs out of the audience, you are actually getting their respect because most of the people in the audience wouldn't do it because they'd be worried about not getting a laugh.

Yeah.

And, you know, the first time I ever did well, really well on stage was my third ever gig.

My second gig I talked about how bad the first one was and Rove was there that night.

Coincidentally, he started comedy at the same time as me in Perth back in 1993.

And he said only recently I did The Australian Story and we chatted about it.

you know, my early career.

And he said, look, you look like it took you one week to work out comedy.

It was bizarre.
