Life Uncut

A Chuckle F*cker, Career Cockblocks and Mid Life Audits. Uncut with Joanne McNally

4/16/202658 min

Today’s episode is going to have you in a belly laugh. We have had Joanne McNally on the pod before and if you listened to that episode you already know that she is one of the funniest, most chaotically brilliant people we have ever had on this show.
In that episode, “The art of riding a lover to sleep” we spoke about what led her to comedy, being adopted, her non-existent pelvic floor and wild dating past.

Since we last spoke, Joanne's life has changed a lot. On the career front, she's absolutely on fire. Her current tour Pinotphile has already sold across the world and she is about to make history as the first Irish female comedian to headline the 3Arena solo. She has come to the conclusion that she is, possibly, in the middle of a midlife crisis. Or as she now prefers to call it, a midlife audit.

We chat:

  • Dating younger men and how it’s different
  • How she got the name ‘Pinotphile’
  • The fake Instagram account she shares with a friend
  • Whether men are genuinely intimidated by funny women, and the power shift that happens when someone makes you laugh
  • Deciding she wants to have a baby with her gay best friend and why she doesn't want to do it completely alone
  • Finding her biological dad on Facebook, her half brothers in Melbourne, and what their relationship looks like now
  • What it actually looks like to run a friendship and a business with Vogue William and why being professionally obligated to each other makes the friendship deeper

    And strapping baby, one of our favorite guests of all time, [laughs] [laughs] Joanne McNally is back with us. She's on Australian soil. Well, actually, she's on Kiwi soil at the moment, but she's coming to Australia. And you might know Joanne. She's now one of the biggest female comedians in the UK, definitely the biggest to come out of Ireland. We've had her on the podcast a few years ago. She hosts her own killer podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, with Vogue Williams. She hosts TV shows. There is nothing this woman can't do.

  4. Laura Byrne· Host0:44

    Totally. She's Ireland's biggest export, apart from potatoes.

  5. Brittany Hockley· Host0:46

    Well, Vogue might be upset about that, so.

  6. Laura Byrne· Host0:48

    [laughs] I don't know. It was, it used to be potatoes, and now it's Joanne McNally.

  7. Joanne McNally· Guest0:50

    Who?

  8. Laura Byrne· Host0:51

    [laughs] Who?

  9. Brittany Hockley· Host0:52

    Who would be upset?

  10. Laura Byrne· Host0:53

    Vogue.

  11. Brittany Hockley· Host0:53

    Vogue. Wouldn't she?

  12. Joanne McNally· Guest0:55

    Oh, sorry. [laughs] Sorry. [laughs] Oh, yeah. Oh, gotcha.

  13. Laura Byrne· Host1:00

    Don't tell her. She doesn't listen to this podcast anyway.

  14. Joanne McNally· Guest1:02

    Oh, she's the nicest V-H- No, no, no, only joking. I'm only joking. No, no, no. We're very supportive of each other. Also, she doesn't really travel as much as I do. Anyway, sorry, sorry, sorry. Go on.

  15. Laura Byrne· Host1:09

    No, she, she does travel as much. It's just that she goes to, like, the fancy five-star, like, Bahamas and stuff, and you're a bit more- Yes ... where you are now.

  16. Joanne McNally· Guest1:17

    [laughs] Yeah, that's true.

  17. Laura Byrne· Host1:18

    You're a bit more humble.

  18. Joanne McNally· Guest1:19

    Yeah, yeah, yeah. Poorer is what you- Yeah. [laughs] P- poorer is the term.

  19. Laura Byrne· Host1:22

    Oh, please.

  20. Joanne McNally· Guest1:23

    Yeah.

  21. Laura Byrne· Host1:23

    [laughs] Joanne McNally, everyone. She's here again. It's so nice to have you back on the pod.

  22. Joanne McNally· Guest1:27

    Thanks so much for having me back. Now, obviously I'm Zooming
