Sweetman Podcast: Episode 92 - Scott Blanks

An in-depth chat with "The Godfather of New Zealand Comedy" Scott Blanks. We talk about the 20th Anniversary of his comedy club, The Classic, his various roles as manager, promoter, talent spotter and his background in performance and promotion. We talk about the development and evolution of the New Zealand comedy scene from the wasteland of the early 90s to the robust TV-career-driven roster that now abounds. Scott and his club were both name-dropped in a book by British comedian Stewart Lee.
