Send a text This episode I'm talking about my 70th birthday party that the kids gave me. To say I was blown away by the theme and the trouble that people had gone to is an understatement. It should be called A Night To Remember but that's taken . 

Send a text Ginger is in town and we talk all things Mickey Mouse and Gravy. 

Send a text So many funny stories of Ireland. Also if you are ever in Belfast and you see huge graffiti saying KILL ALL PRODS, run 

Send a text This story is too unbelievable and to be honest even I struggle to get my head around it all.  The only thing is it is too good to be kept secret.

Send a text Something a bit different. I have written a book full of stories of my childhood and I have decided to read one of the chapters from it. I am really putting myself out there as this is not one of my funny stories. 

Send a text That time I joined in on a parade. 

Send a text Did we get into the Playboy Mansion or didn't we.  You will have to listen to the end to find out. 

Send a text Gypsy has sailed off to a faraway land to work with crazy Pirates so I have to improvise. 

Send a text It's true I forgot to press the record button but its a very short funny listen anyway.  We will do this podcast again I promise. 

Send a text That time I went to court and it turned into a fabulous adventure.  Just call me JUSTICE girl,  it's my Super Power.

Send a text One of my favourite jobs I ever had was working for Mignonne Siemer at the craziest Indian restaurant you could ever imagine. 

Send a text A very alarming story about San Francisco alarms and why I did not want them.

Send a text Lost in Translation is all I have to say about this one.   I blame Sandy. 

Send a text The halloween committee tell more amazing tales from the Halloween parties.  

Send a text This podcast is slightly different from the norm as I had Gypsy and her friends in the studio to record stories from their incredible Halloween parties that span 15 years.  They are hard to describe but we gave it a shot.  Hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed the parties.   You can find photos @ afunnythinghappenedpodcast on instagram.

Send a text That time Deane worked with Terry Jones on what might have been the next Life of Brain.  I love this insight into behind the scenes shenanigans. 

Send a text 34 - This is a very short episode about a prank call that went terribly wrong. Hope it puts a smile on your dial. 

Send a text Joy tells a few funny stories about  twins in her family,  being a twin herself and buying talking eggs for the twins she minds. 

Send a text I was going to call this episode the Chris Isaak Chronicles but my husband Deane thought 'I DID A BAD BAD THING' was more appropriate and I have to agree. 

Send a text I have announced the winner of the Nightmare before Christmas illustration and an extra surprise.  There will be a second and third prize as well,  Deane has generously offered to draw a couple of extras, they will be smaller but no less fabulous.  I have told one of my all time favourite stories right after so stay tuned.  CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER AND THE RUNNER UPS. 

Send a text When Willem worlds collide.  Joy and Deane talk about the most crazy coincidence and how Deane doesn't want to name drop but somehow it happens anyway. 

Send a text Find out all of the behind the scenes excitement, Hollywood Divas and more. Joy interviews Gypsy Taylor ( her daughter ) and does not expect her to be so forthcoming.  This is such a good insight into the world of film, theatre and practical jokes.
