55. Eurovision w/ Dec McHale

This time I'm joined by Dec McHale, Stand Up, Improv Comic, Actor & icon from Auckland and he joins me on the show to talk about the behemoth music event that is Eurovision! I learnt a lot about the history of the event, how geopolitics influences the event depending on what's happening in Europe and then we talk about why Eurovision is meaningful to Dec, as well as how it has influenced him throughout his life. I learnt that Eurovision is sometimes known as "The Gay Olympics" which I found just delightful, most likely doing a follow up podcast with Dec about it!

If you'd like to follow Dec, hit him on instagram @decmcomedy or get yourself down to the Wednesday Laughs at the Covert Theatre once a month, check his insta for the most up to date details!
