His anecdotes about last year’s performance in a beer garden, and the unrealistic expectations of the organisers, provide a humorous yet relatable glimpse into the life of a working comedian. The episode then takes an unexpected turn as Boyle laments the demise of his regular gig in Sydney, thanks to a pool table being installed where the crowd used to sit.
