In this month’s print edition of OUTinPerth we published our Twitter chat with comedian Joel Creasey.
A little bit of the conversation appeared on each page. If you didn’t manage to get a hold of a print copy here’s the whole chat.
Joel Creasey returns home to Perth next month to perform at the Perth International Comedy Festival.
Hey @joelcreasey, are you ready and comfortable?
I have a coffee in hand, bring it on.
You know this morning when we looked for a photo of you to put on our website we had two choices…
Choice one was you naked, choice two you looked very young. Do you think you’re going to come to regret that naked pic?
I already do. My parents have it framed and it’s in their hallway.
I guess they’ll never have to take out those embarrassing baby pics.
Mum’s a heavy drinker. She wouldn’t be able to find them.
Your new poster has lots of running mascara – discuss.
My new show is all about my emotions. I’m just like Beyonce. And all about being newly single – hence the tears.
A lot of boys wear make up nowadays, do you?
Only if it increases my chances of picking up. I’m actually allergic to make-up. So that was a longgg day!
Your new show is ‘The Drama Captain’, at the moment you’re performing in Adelaide at the Rhino Room, does it have, you know, a Rhino?
There is a big painting of a Rhino of the side of the building. It’s a quirky place. With v. hot staff. It’s great!
We noticed on Facebook you offered to pash people who bought a ticket, is this offer be extended to the WA shows?
I’ll happily pash people that come to my show. In fact I’ll pash basically anything. People, trees, lamp posts etc..
Have you taken your comedy overseas?
Not yet. But the plan is Edinburgh and New York at the end of the year, which is both exciting and terrifying.
Which is more terrifying – a home audience or a new audience?
Possibly a home audience. Especially Perth. I tell quite personal stories and everybody knows everybody in Perth.
We hate to break it to you, but everyone in Perth knows everyone in Melbourne too
Have you heard about the naughty things I’ve been getting up to? Don’t tell Mum.
Was watching Sea Patrol last night, you could pass as 2Dads.
Haha, I do know how to tie a reef knot.
We’ll back that up Jarrod, Joel have you ever met actor Nickolai Nickoloff?
No but that takes the award for most random question ever, who is he?
He’s the actor who plays 2Dads on Sea Patrol (we Googled)
Oh God. That was a blonde moment. Well, no, I haven’t met him. But when I do I’ll ask him for my face back.
This has been fun but our time is up, look forward to seeing you when your home. Send us a selfie.
