Ding Dong Club with Karl Chandler

Ding Dong! We're back in the studio with NAZEEM HUSSAIN and RAY O'LEARY! I may have landed back in Australia, but there's still plenty to unpack! Did Naz come to Koh Samui or not? What did I get for my birthday? What is Ray's deal with airline food? What's someone in the news done with 7/11 toasted sandwiches? What happened to me in the airport on the way home from Thailand? (You can probably gues...

Ding Dong, and sawadee ka! The Koh Samui International Podcast Fringe Festival™ concludes, with the 3rd, but actually first, and yet, final episode of the festival! We've just come off the party boat after 5 hours of drinking, The comics are cooked, the crowd are sunstruck, and the tech is non-existant. There is no way this show should have happened. Yet here it is. By reading this far, you have l...

Ding Dong! The Koh Samui International Podcast Fringe Festival™ rolls on, with the 2nd, last, and somehow, 3rd episode! We've changed venues, and the thing everyone's been waiting for has finally happened: Lawrence Mooney has finally cut loose. Dave Thornton and Nick Cody try to put together the previous night's reign of terror, as the Moonman fails a feat of strength AND continence; Rohan Ganju r...

Ding Dong! It's finally here! The Koh Samui International Podcast Fringe Festival™ has finally started! And this is the 1st episode! ... Wait, or is it the 2nd episode? The 1st show was MAYBE too f*&ked up to release, so let's cut straight to the 2nd one. Lawrence Mooney is struggling to remember how to get home and what he did to Kyle Legacy on stage; in fact, there are now THREE Kyle Legacys...

Ding Dong! It's Ladies' Day! It's BRON LEWIS and LIZZY HOO! Bron's been to a cracker of a cruise ship talent show; then we open up the Hoo files and find out about - Lizzy is banned from swimming; why is Lizzy so gay?; plus Lizzy's brother is repping a new amazing cum-related product that we delve deep into the world of; and Lizzy's been on an all-time date; plus Bron's been heckled... good luck h...

Ding Dong! It's comedy royalty TONY MARTIN and comedy pleb DANNY McGINLAY! From old video shops (of course); affairs with Vanilla Ice; to blue-ray (of course); the Italian Basement Comedy Club; bootleg "Jackie Brown"; the difference between "Picture" and "People" magazines; but we're all leading to an examination of the extraordinary Amish-like, phone-less existance of Tony Martin! How does he do...

Ding Dong! It's only the two biggest Daves in comedy: DAVE HUGHES and DAVE O'NEIL! There's a lot going on: wild stories from Hughesy's sharehouse days; are the kids still using fake IDs?; the ongoing adventures of Hughesy's podcast van; way too many 80s music references (including a James Reyne update); forget Koh Samui... O'Neil has his own 3 day festival coming up; Hughesy does a gig at the Adul...

We've got those lucky devils TOMMY LITTLE and ADAM ROZENBACHS this week, As we find out Tommy Little's ACTUAL first name; we pitch ideas for new vape flavours; we talk about Copperart for way too long; I tell the story of the biggest tight-arse I've dealt with in podcasting AND in Koh Samui; and we find out about... Tommy Little's poetry in the toilet?!? It's another loose, fast, and fu...

Ding Dong! Two great guests: We've got ROHAN GANJU from the Koh Samui International Podcast Fringe Festival and KYLE LEGACY from... your couch, probably. We're at Casa Del Ganju, as we count down Rohan's "Top 5 Things He's Looking Forward to in Koh Samui" (you'll never believe number 4!); Legacy's gotten stuck in a tiny country town; Ganju teaches us about Indian religion; why is Ned Kelly popular...

Ding Dong! Two great guests: We've got MIKE GOLDSTEIN from Channel 9's "The Hundred" and ZACK DYER from... Jim's Mowing, I assume. There's a LOT going on: I've locked myself out of the house AGAIN and I'm cosplaying as a homeless man; we talk about where to keep your spare keys; children's books; 3-legged dogs; we find out from Zack if gardeners get as much sex as pool cleaners; Goldstein gets rec...

Ding Dong! Get ready for a NO-GOOD, ROTTEN, YUCKY, LIVE episode in Melbourne with guests NAZEEM HUSSAIN, NICK CODY and KYLE LEGACY! I've decorated the stage with Blanket's dolls and that's handled tastefully by the guests; Legacy has hit a member of Aunty Donna in the head with a golf ball; plus Legacy has ALSO been banned from a pub crawl comedy gig; Nazeem reveals ALL about my acting on his new...

Ding Dong! We're LIVE from Basement Comedy Club in Melbourne with PETE HELLIAR , CAMERON JAMES and HARLEY BREEN! I've locked myself out of my house with predictably stupid results; there's a crazy Hughesy update; Harley and Pete have been to the doctors (not together); Cam and Harley share some police stories; and I've eaten too many dinners in Bangkok with predictably stupid results. Hooray for l...

Ding Dong! Two interstate guests today, it's Triple J's LUKA MULLER and Grumpy Old Cunt FM's LUKE HEGGIE! Heggie and I have been BLANKED from a major comedy festival event; I'm going out of my mind organising comedy festival venues and doing the door; we compare our school holidays growing up compared to Blanket's; could I be related to Luka?; as we hear about his flight to Bali; and we get Heggie...

Ding Dong! It's comedy festival time, so we've got two internationals in town: ANGELLA DRAVID (as seen on "Taskmaster NZ"), and KYLE LEGACY (as seen on your couch, probably).

Us three gals chat it up, as we revisit the chat about my house being haunted; discover Nikki's relationship with the afterlife; Danielle's sexting gone wrong; my name's been doing the rounds of comedy group chats with an insane allegation; and I've had a run-in with some audience members at...

Ding Dong! We're LIVE from ADELAIDE , with a red-hot audience, with ROVE McMANUS , BRON LEWIS and LEHMO !

Ding Dong! It's a very yucky episode this week (sorry), as ROHAN GANJU and first-timer ANGUS GORDON join me in the gutter. We talk about Rohan and Angus's shared start in a comedy competition, and how they've worked together in a catering company, which sounds nice, but goes downhill from there, as we discuss the girl I met who works in a Perth K-Mart who cleaned up a filthy pie, which takes over...

Ding Dong! I've got two guests that are both on the verge of being new dads: BEN KNIGHT and CARL DONNELLY! That's right: instead of being close to their wives, they're giving birth to content with me instead! To be fair, Knighty tries every trick in the book to get out of the podcast; we talk about comedians having a REAL job; Knighty's got a kids book out (rare for a comedian); I'm trying to do j...

Ding Dong! Dads don't hang out at BBQs and talk anymore: they do podcasts. I'm joined by HARLEY BREEN and DANNY McGINLAY!

One of our guests is running late, but it's OK, we have the Australian Comedian of the Year™ on our side, and we hear about his travels around the world; plus we hear about the potentia...

Ding Dong! No scams this week... Just getting two pro comics to come to my kid's room to talk for an hour for free. Wait, that kinda sounds like a scam. It's LEHMOOOO and ADAM ROZENBACHS! The boys are fresh off the golf course, so we give our takes on golf (whoa, 3 middle-aged blokes talking about golf?!), so expect big thoughts on mental health, cheating, and the best way to smash a windscreen; p...

Ding Dong! It's nearly a TWO HOUR EPISODE! Holy shit, you're welcome! It's Ding Dong royalty NICK CODY , and sperm bank teller ABHISHEK MISHRA ! Take the rest of the week off, you've got 120 minutes to deal with here. And there's a LOT.
