Today we have two evacuees for the price of one! As Andre and Easy, from the UK online radio chat show Juxtaposition Debate join us down in the bunker. About Andre - A lateral thinker with a mischievous sense of humour André is renowned for thinking outside of the box and producing magical moments using nothing but the spoken word. Easy: The maverick of the bunch having honed his comedy alongside the likes of Richard Blackwood, John Simmit, Junior Simpson, Aymer & Powell, Geoff Schumann, Leo Chester, etc. Easy took a sabbatical to do other things but was drawn back to being a funster while doing shows at the Edinburgh Festival. He can at times be raw, refined, and positively delightful in parts. But what you hear is what you get, quick wit, banter with passion And oh yes my co-host Shaz, makes a reappearance, fresh from cleaning out the velociraptor tank!

Today's Evacuee is Jeff Macolino from St Petersburg Florida. That's right we have a Florida Man! More about Jeff: In January 2020, Jeff came close to committing suicide. When he had stabilized somewhat mentally, he realised one thing to work his way out of my boring 8 to 5 job and into the world of comedy. Over the past year Jeff has been working on a couple of dark comedy screenplays as well as a dark comedy sitcom. Upon advice of some other respected comedians, Jeff started doing open mics and my own podcast. Now, just having turned 34, I am basically a dinosaur for someone just starting in this industry. Jeff is divorced dad of two children (11 and 8). I Lives quite a diverse life, half the time being the best dad I can be in half the time partying or working on his comedy. Oh he plays a pretty mean Mario Kart as well!
