You probably didn’t know that Adelaide Comic of the Year, Australian comedian Jason Chong, kick started his own stand-up comedy career by attending a stand-up comedy course. That was twenty years ago. Since then he’s become a regular face of Adelaide comedy, on stage, TV, podcasts and radio.
In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, host Steve Davis talks to comedian Jason Chong about discipline, getting gigs, the Tarago Test, and The Black Box Experiment.
