Hello, Matt Jess and Dave here. Just to give you a little update on a few exciting things happening very soon.

0:05.5

That's right. We're looking at the rest of the year thinking, let's go to some new places, but we can only go there if we know that an audience will turn up. So wherever you are in the world, you can sign up to our mailing list. There's a link in our link tree on the do go on Instagram. basically you feel out your email and where in the world you would see us and we'll only email you once we're going there. No spam, nothing like that. It's just, for example, you live in Tokyo or let you know when we're doing a show in Tokyo. Please tell us about that. We'd love to go to Tokyo. Oh, man, it would be a dream to go to Tokyo. But we are doing some live shows in Melbourne and Adelaide coming up. We're doing three shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2026. This is March 29. There's April 5. It's not on. Sorry, that's Easter. We're not doing that. April 12 and April 19. You can get a ticket to each of the shows or a season pass. And it's very much discounted because you only have to pay the ticket fee once. I tell you what, this is not going to help the rumors that one of us is the Easter Bunny.

0:56.9

We're going to have to pay the ticket fee once. I tell you what, this is not going to help the rumours that one of us is the Easter Bunny.

0:58.3

We're going to have to delete that.

0:58.6

Yeah.

0:59.5

Pretending you didn't hear that.

1:28.9

I'm also doing it. Who knew with Matt Stewart live at the Adelaide Fringe on March the 7th. To me and Serenjai Amana, friend of the show, are doing a run of our new material show, which I think is called Seren Jiamana and Matt Stewart, present Sorrenti, Amarna and Matt Stewart, something like that. And it's on at the Rhinel, March 3rd to 9th and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, April 7th and 19th at the Cooper's Inn. Cannot wait, pumped up. But yeah, get onto the mailing list. Get onto the mailing list. Or if you want to get tickets to any of the shows we just mentioned,

1:52.8

like I said, it's 2026. Go to do episode of Dugo One.

1:57.0

My name is Dave Warnocky, and as always, I'm here with Matt Stewart and Jess Perkins. You know what's crazy?

1:58.4

My name is also Dave Warnocky.

2:00.7

Is it? Really? Yes. Legally? Legally. Oh, Jess Perkins is a stage name. Yeah. Geez, you really didn't take a big swing on that one, did you? What do you mean? I don't know. That's just pretty, pretty middle of the road. She's juiced up Dave and became... My stage name, Matt Stewart. Yeah. And just like, close your eyes and picture it. It's sparkling. Yeah, I see it in lights. Jess. I can taste it. I don't think I've said this publicly before, but I can reveal my real name. Legal name. What is it? Matthew Stewart. No. But I joshed it up by taking hue off.

2:35.6

Matthew, kind of to me, if I'm closing my eyes and visualizing it, it's sort of like looking through muddy water.

2:42.1

Yeah.

2:42.4

You know, but Matt sparkles.

2:45.2

Isn't that interesting?

2:46.0

Whoa, yeah.

2:47.6

It's glowing.

2:49.0

Yeah.

2:49.6

It's vibrating.

3:07.7

It's beautiful. Anyway, thanks for having us, Dave. Great to be. Well, I haven't revealed my real name yet either. What is it? No, I won't. That's Chris. Yeah. Well, the odds of there being two Dave Warnockies on the same podcast would be crazy. I was saying this just before we started recording. Don't you think Dave could be a Stephen? Yes. But not a Steve. No. And if the Stephen was spelled with a pH of the stuff. Even better. Stephen. Stephen. I, yes, I'd have to be one of those tedious people that say, it's not Steve. Yeah. Stephen. Which I could have been, because I never wanted to be a Dave. Oh. But I just let it happen. Yeah. Because who cares?

3:24.6

Oh, no. Yeah. Which I could have been, because I never wanted to be a Dave. Oh. But I just let it happen.

3:25.0

Yeah.
