Broden Kelly. He’s a podcaster, musician and 1/3 of the landmark Australian comedy outfit Aunty Donna. ‌ They’re not for everyone, and that’s OK. ‌ There’s a solid broad line in the middle of our community where a joke is very obvious. And as you get out to the edges, it can get darker, stranger, weirder, more uncomfortable, and sometimes - just sometimes you can loop all the way back around again through all of that discomfort to absolute hilarity. ‌ It’s that particular path for me which makes Aunty Donna one of the most astounding comedy exports out country has ever made. ‌ Their absolutely groundbreaking Netflix show is fucking bonkers. If it’s not for you - that’s fine. Not everything is for everyone. ‌ However the three core people who make up Aunty Donna are smart, delightful, loving humans who have a lot to offer outside of making sure there’s room for pud. ‌ Broden came around to my echoey Melbourne apartment last week to share the incredible journey he and Aunty Donna have been on, the absolute pinnacle moment where they changed the trajectory of their careers all by deciding the intent behind their performance, and wonderfully - we talk a lot about footy. Particularly AFL. ‌ Broden has a magnificent Podcast, “The Footy with Broden Kelly”. I love it because he talks about sport in a way that has about noting to do with stats, with scandals, or with gambling - instead he talks about sport from an emotional place I’ve never heard described before. ‌ I came late to football, both AFL and NRL - however the way Broden talks about it, it speaks to me in a way that the blossom-nosed ex-players on the telly absolutely don’t.
