Sydney Tonight

This week on the show I test you on your knowledge of Sydney suburbs with the help of producers Nathan Roach and Aspen Beilharz. If you think you know this city then play along to see just how many suburbs you can guess based off a short description. It sparked some controversy though as the question of whether or not the hub that is Central Station is within Surry Hills. I also got out of the stu...

If you didn't get enough of Nina Oyama in last week's episode of Sydney Tonight then you're in luck because I've got our full chat for you right here! Nina spoke to me about being on Taskmaster, travelling to Japan with Shaun Micallef, her major work in Year 12, and her thoughts on the Biscoff Greek yoghurt cheesecake that she keeps seeing on TikTok. Make sure you get to The Comedy...

You've almost definitely heard the complaints that Sydney is not an easy city to date in. People don't try very hard and stay in their own little groups. So this week, Annabelle Moore puts herself out there by attending a speed dating event to see if it really is that difficult to find love in Sydney. After trying her hand on Tinder, Hinge, and all the other apps, she's turned to a mor...

Comedian Luke Heggie is a keen cyclist (but not one of the annoying ones, he promises), riding his bike all through the city rather than driving or getting public transport. In fact, I'm pretty sure he arrived to the Sydney Tonight studios on a bike (although I didn't see it for myself so can't be fully sure). He joined me on the show this week to talk about more than cycling though, a...

"Start early, whack the back of somebody's seat, but don't get physical until about 30 minutes in" is comedian Luke Heggie's advice if you want to end up on his podcast, Mid Flight Brawl. Luke can be found at comedy rooms across the city almost every night of the week, with his stand up being described as a collection of things that have annoyed him over the last 12 months. He's appeared on shows...

Author of Green Dot and Chosen Family Madeleine Gray is the first Sydney Tonight guest to have been inside Nigella Lawson's kitchen, but hopefully she won't be the last! Maddy met Nigella after the celebrity chef posted a positive review of her first book and things have snowballed from there. But that's not all this award winning author spoke to me about this week. We discussed naming...

According to comedian Sam Taunton, it's not the beaches or the Opera House that makes Sydney special, but the chicken. And he is so passionate about it that for his last meal he wants to eat Frangos chicken sitting outside the Oporto on Enmore Road. This is the extended interview with Sam from the most recent episode of Sydney Tonight and in our chat we cover many, many things including growin...

Does having a Wikipedia page exempt you from having to donate to keep their site running? Comedian Sam Taunton thinks so, and I don't disagree! This week on Sydney Tonight you'll hear Sam talk about moving to Melbourne, working on The Project, and how his interview with Lil Yachty at Splendour In The Grass went so wrong. Sam will be touring his new stand up show This Must Be The Place during the S...

At the end of 2025 Elliot Crane, front man of party band Furnace and the Fundamentals stopped by the Sydney Tonight studios and this is our full chat! Elliot told me about how the band went from playing to empty rooms to being asked to perform at the British F1 Grand Prix in Silverstone, meeting Mel C (a Spice Girl!), and slip hazards when performing in outrageously hot venues. Check out Furnapalo...

This month we lost an icon of the Sydney restaurant scene, with Chinese Noodle House controversially closing its doors. But before they did, myself and Annabelle paid them one final visit and we bring you with us in this episode of Sydney Tonight. You'll also hear from Elliot Crane, front man of Furnace and the Fundamentals who have been described as the best party band in the world! They've perfo...

Sydney based pop duo Cat and Calmell joined me on Sydney Tonight this week and in this bonus episode you'll hear our full, very fun conversation that unpacks everything from buying wedding dresses from Salvos to singing at school assemblies. Cat and Calmell are performing at the Lansdowne Hotel on Friday 19th December as part of their Live Laugh Cool Star headline tour, and if you have the cha...

Ever since it opened, the biggest complaint about the light rail in Sydney is that it's so slow! So tonight on Sydney Tonight listen in as I try to find out just how slow it is by racing it from Circular Quay to Bridge Street. But that's not all- you'll also hear from comedian Max Dary with a scoop on some festive AI "art" at Redfern Station, and pop duo Cat and Calmell stop by to chat about their...

Socceroos, Matildas, and A-League commentator Robbie Thomson was my guest on Sydney Tonight this week, and in this episode you'll hear the full interview with all the stories that didn't make it into the official show. Robbie spoke about his love for statistics, everything he learnt from Martin Tyler, and why football is the best sport in the world. You can hear Robbie commentating the A-L...

Think you know the name of the tall, golden building in the middle of Sydney? Think again! Tonight on Sydney Tonight not only will you hear just how few people know the real name of Centrepoint Tower (now called the Sydney Tower Eye), but I'll also take you out to a free salsa class held in Darling Harbour that you can get involved with too! And you'll meet Robbie Thomson- lead commentator for the...

The variety show that’s learning to love Sydney, hosted by Lachlan A’Court, Sydney Tonight is celebrating all things that make this city special!
