In Conversation With Jon Faine: Shaun Micallef
To watch this past event, click play on the video below:
In Conversation with Jon Faine deep-dives into the minds of some of Australia’s major movers and shakers as they explore some of the biggest legal, economic and social issues of our time.
Jon Faine's guest for the hour is Australian actor, comedian, writer and broadcaster, Shaun Micallef.
In 1993, after 10 years working as an insurance Lawyer in Adelaide, and after too many nights sitting in front of the TV bemoaning the quality of the comedy he was watching, Micallef moved to Melbourne to pursue a full time career in comedy. We are all the better for his decision.
Shaun's now a familiar face thanks to decades of success on shows like The Micallef Program, Newstopia, Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation and his most recent hit, Mad As Hell.
It is futile to try to anticipate where a conversation with Shaun Micallef may go. The comedian and film-maker is a creative soul like few others and his In Conversation with Jon Faine will be a livestream not to be missed.
