Uncomfortable Truths is hosted by Melbourne comedian Pradeepa Timmermans. She interviews interesting local comedians and regular people here in Australia. Each podcast briefly discusses or delves right into at least one uncomfortable truth. These include topics like being a comedian, writing comedy, sex, addiction, corruption, experiences of failure as well as success, mental health - you know, the stuff we don’t talk about. The only thing we find more uncomfortable than these subjects is trying to hold them in! Let's release the shame and fear by talking and laughing about it, together.

Ep21 Chris Ryan (Canberra comedian, gigging interstate, going pro, women in comedy, comedy for troops!)

Chris Ryan is an awesome comedian from Canberra. She won Best Newcomer 2019 Sydney Comedy Festival and Nominee Best Newcomer 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Chris is in her 40s – this intrigued me that a woman in her 40s was winning these newcomer awards.

I went to see her 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show “Can’t Complain”, and I was hooked from the moment she started. Her hilarious candid comments carry deep, dark truths – just my kind of comedy! We talk about how she got into comedy at the age of 38, her comedy path up to this point, how her career as a comedian changed after winning her first award, what it takes to step up to being a pro comedian, different audiences in different places, going darker with her comedy and performing for the troops!
