NOV 8, 202646 MIN

Description

He’s had a multi-decade career at the steepest heights of the entertainment industry, with top rating radio, TV and streaming shows as well as a successful New York pub, but there’s still one thing Hamish Blake has never done: A proper day’s work. His new show Unskilled Adult seeks to change that, as he enlists a crew of comedians, podcasters, and media careerists to learn the jobs of everyday Aussies. From building planter boxes, catering weddings, welding a trailer and drywalling a salami shed, they take on tasks with the overconfidence you’d expect from a bunch of soft-handed simpletons who don’t even know the meaning of hard yakka. Hamish joins Clancy and Errol to chat through the struggles and triumphs of his new show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
