ABOUT THE EPISODE
How often does a pro comedian bomb, and how do you get used to it? This is a quick-fire round with Australian stand-up comedian Monty Franklin, 20 years into his career.

Monty shares his best heckle comeback from the Comics Lounge in Melbourne, the Hells Angels gig where he fell off the stage drunk, what John Cleese taught him about creativity, and the Vegas night he dined with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, then slept in a bush. The full conversation with Monty is on the channel.
