WorkHate is comedy podcast is co-hosted by comedians, Brett Blake and Bron Lewis who have a rich tapestry of ridiculous experiences between them.

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we talk to internationally acclaimed DJ Gabrielle who is not only a brilliant musician, but also a social worker who changes kids’ lives. She is toxically optimistic (self-described), so this may very well be the first uplifting episode we have ever done. We loved hearing about Gabe’s experiences with blending both of her passions to create an artistic outlet for disenfranchised youths almost as much as we loved her story of giving Bron a dental dam almost 20 years ago. We loved this yarn with DJ Gabrielle, and you will too. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’.

On this week’s episode of the The Work Hates Podcast we are joined by Comedian, Podcaster, Hardcore Punk Music Lover and all round great guy Ben Searlo! When Searle isn’t crashing Brett’s dates he has been running gigs and doing stand up spots around Melbourne for years.Beyond stand-up, Ben is the co-host of Oblivious Maximus, a cult podcast with longtime friend Aaron Osborne. Focused on punk, hardcore, and metal, the show blends irreverent banter with in-depth conversations featuring guests from music, comedy, and the arts. Brett tells us a fishing story form Perth while Bron has a very normal and not crazy at all tattoo by an ex boyfriend. All this and more in this week’s episode of The Work Hates Podcasts.

On this week’s episode of the The Work Hates Podcast we are joined by Comedian, Writer…Do I really need to do this for Pete? You already know who he is. If you have watched TV, or listened to the radio, read a book or seen anything funny in Australia in the last 20 years then it is probably related to Pete Hellair. Peter is back (not that he ever left) with a brand new tax write of scheme/Podcast, “Make Me Good At Golf”. Brett and Bron have both been on the road doing gigs and filming super secret shows so their catch ups happen during the podcast! Hopefully we can get them both in the same room again for some more Pods before Brett runs away to join The Nitro Circus like he has always dreamed of.

On this week’s episode of the “Work Hates” podcast we are joined by Dead Pan Comedian, TV Writer and Electric Bike owner, Nick Schuller! During the day Nick has been writing for TV shows like Have You Been Paying Attention and The Weekly on the ABC but don't worry; he still finds time at night to do terrible gigs with Bron and Brett all around the country. Brett tries to get Bron to admit she was rude on Roadshow but turns out Brett was the one yelling at the poor sound tech. All this and more in this week’s episode of The Work Hates Podcasts.

On this week’s episode of the “Work Hates” podcast we are joined by Comedian, TV Writer and STI Owner (the car kind of STI) Adam Rozenbachs! If you don't recognise Adam from his face (like Bron) you will know Adam from his jokes being on almost every TV show in Australia for the past 10 years. Rozie tells us about the gigs he did in an active War Zone and Bron did a gig in what felt like a war zone. Rozie and Brett get distracted and bore Bron with facts about early 1980 Australian Cars from their childhood and Bron tells us about the time she went bungee jumping as a depressed teenager with no friends. I guess some things never change.

On this week’s episode of the “Work Hates” podcast we are joined by Stand Up Comedian, Lay Down Full Service Worker and Lighting Strike Surviver, Carly Electric! Carly is an award winning full service sex worker who has recently taken her crazy work stories to the stage. Bron asks Carly a lot of questions about her job while Brett seems to already know a lot about Carly’s work. Carly is taking both of her tours around Australia this year and we recommend you buy tickets to at least one of her shows or ask her if she will cut you a deal for both!
There will be an extra bonus chat with Carly out this week on our Patreon. Make sure you go sign up to hear that and our back catalog of bonus content.

On this week’s episode of the “Work Hates” podcast we are joined by Comedian, Actress and All Round Friend Soina Di lorio! You might remember Sonia from her amazing comedy or from every time you have turned on your TV for the past 6 months because she is on every third TV commercial!

Bron has her brand new comedy special out and Brett’s big acting performance as a criminal in court is finally out this week on The Twelve (Foxtel/Binge).

Another Special hostful episode this week. Bron and Brett are back in the same room in the same country and there is a lot for them to catch up on. Brett has more stories about his summer Euro Trip through possibly landlocked European Countries and getting nude in a Suna. Bron has a WILD story about going back to her home town to do a show. The Crime Scene Investigation team will need to get involved to get to the bottom (pun intended) of this one. Stay tuned for the details on the upcoming 100th LIVE SHOW IN MELBOURNE.

On this week’s episode of the “Work Hates” podcast we are joined by one of Bron’s oldest comedy mate, Comedian, writer and Rock Eisteddfod enthusiast, Laureence Discoll. You have probably seen Laurence popping up on Bron’s socials doing funny little clips and reaction videos. Laurenece is a raw comedy finalist and a 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Best Newcomer nominee. All these awards and accolades haven;t stopped Laurence from working some really shit call centre jobs and of course our favourite thing, total bombing at a corporate gig.

On this week’s episode of the “Work Hates” podcast we are joined by Comedian, Writer and Dog Owner, Alex Ward! While Alex is still trying to get over the fact she quit The Project just weeks for she was eligible for a redundancy payout, she came on the pod to tell us all about it! Alex shares a terrible corporate gig (its always the corporate gigs), how she was drafted into child slavery by her mother while Bron snoops through Brett’s DVD collection. Alex is the best and we loved having her round. Another Classic Work Hates Episode!

On this week’s episode of the “Work Hates” podcast we are joined by Comedian, lesbain, (***Checks Notes**) I mean Thespian and Below Par Golfer, Peter James! Don’t let Pete’s baby face and child-like charm fool you, Pete is a stone cold killer on the stage. Pete is the “King of Cairns Comedy" and it was an absolute joy for him to venture down south to harass Brett 24/7 by crashing on his couch for a week. Pete’s dad has also started stand up comedy and has advice for all of us. Did you know comedy works in threes?

On this week’s episode of ‘Work Hate’ we are joined by Comedian, Actor, Skateboarder and recent facial scar enthusiast, David Quirk!! Quirky has done everything in the comedy game and has been doing it for over 20 years. He is one of the best and such a fun chat. David tells us about having sex with a man in a spa on camera (apparently). Bron bombs on stage in Pakenham (apparently). And Brett has a wildly inappropriate conversion with a multiple award winning actor and international Super Star (not apparently). We will have to get David back on because we have only just scratched the surface of all the insane things he has done at work.

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we chat to standup comedian, Play Writer and Western Australian Marron Fan, Rose Bishop! After working in what sounds like every terrible hospitality venue in Perth Rose has made the move over to Melbourne to pressure her true passion, sending fines to dodgy builders. Oh and stand up comedy!
Rose and Brett teach Bron about the most important thing to look out for when inspecting a house. While we all learn what the hell a Marron is (it's a big yabbie/crayfish only found in WA).
Rose has written a play which comes out at the end of the year. Follow her socials and keep an eye out for when tickets go on sale. We had a great chat with Rose so enjoy this week’s episode of “Work Hates”!

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’, we chat to our dear friend and fellow comedian, Nick Capper. We mean this when we say this is going to be the first of many episodes we will have this lunatic on because his employment history is the most mental you’ll ever hear of. Capper takes us on a walk down memory lane where he found himself working in Thailand as a reggae boat guide, which was about as bonkers as it sounds. He also shared how he worked at a paintball place where he was shot violently by losers which was about as humiliating as it sounds. We loved this chat with this great man. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we chat to scooter King, X Game Gold Medallist and the face of action sports Ryan Williams, AKA R-Willy. This is a little different to our usual comedian guests because he isn’t a comedian, but similar to the comedians we have on, his work history was pretty limited. R-Willy made a name for himself before he had to get a real job, and he’s been so successful that he will almost definitely never need a real job. Bretty was so starstruck for this episode that he barely spoke, and Bron unashamedly didn’t know who he was or that grown men rode scooters so she asked questions that embarrassed Bretty to no end. We loved this chat, and we know you will too! Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’.

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we talk to comedian, podcaster and cartoonist Tommy Dassalo. We both assumed Tommy had a very brief history with employment, but it turns out the bloke has not only worked, but he’s worked at some really god awful places. From a well known burger place where he had to wear a bandanna, to working with a fellow who hated him, poor old Tommy has been through the ringer. Come for the shitty work stories, and stay for the dreadful gig tale he has, where he had to do a three hour putt-putt corporate where he ate shit for the entire gig. Horrible for him, paradise for us. We love this man, and we thoroughly enjoyed this recording, so go on, treat yourself and get stuck into this episode of ‘Work Hates’.
