Blake Pavey is a rising star in Australian comedy, known for his sharp wit, fearless storytelling, and unique ability to turn even the darkest moments into gold. In this episode of Born Funny, he sits down to chat about everything, from his high school days skipping class for comedy nights, to bombing on stage at Wagga RSL, to his first-ever comedy gig which was an absolute train wreck. Blake opens up about life with cystic fibrosis, weaving humour into the experience in a way that’s equal parts raw and hilarious. He shares how his brother’s flamboyant theatre energy, his mum’s unexpected stand-up debut, and a Call of Duty lobby all played a part in shaping his comedy. Plus, he talks about his upcoming shows, his dive into acting with Deadloch Season 2, and why he’s desperate for Robert Irwin to present him with a Logie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
