Gay humans, the world's biggest comedy festival is still underway, the Melbourne International

Comedy Festival.

I popped down to Melbourne to undertake a 10-hour sub-stack live-streamed marathon with five

extraordinary stand-up comics in today's second thrilling installment of the

Uncomfortable Conversations comedy extravaganza, Zainab Johnson is a black Muslim female New Yorker

with a half million Instagram fans and the title of Variety Magazine's Top Ten Comics to

watch. Her Amazon Prime Stand Up special is called hijabs off and she

joined me to school me on comedy, Islam and marsupial reproduction. Please enjoy the one. The

only, Zainab Johnson. You know, Australia is a pretty far travel.

And so I had the time a friend was with me, and we decided to go up to Sydney for maybe like about 36 hours, which I really enjoyed.

Yes.

And then I hopped over to New Zealand.

Oh, great. Where did you go? I went to the main island, the big island, the big, what is it called? There's the South Island and the North Island, and each of them would claim to be the main one. No, there's one that's bigger. The South Island is longer, has a larger area, and the North Island has more people?

I went to the North Island.

Okay.

Yeah.

To like Auckland.

I went to Auckland.

That kind of, okay, that's great.

Zinab Johnson is here, the comedian number two, but really Numero Uno in our hearts.

Always. Of a five comic extravaganza that we're doing for the Melbourne

Comedy Festival all day. We'll be live streaming on Substack for like nine or ten hours.
