About this episode

Lizzy Hoo is many things, a writer, a noddle enthusiast, the child of a Hollywood-style love story, an actor, a rescue greyhound owner - and, as she’s only recently discovered - a person of colour.

Lizzy grew up in a funny household with her Dad playing tricks on the family constantly, with comedy in her bones Lizzy was always destined to be funny. 

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, Lizzy explains how she quit her day job to do comedy full time, becoming one of Australia’s most exciting new voices.
