This episode we are fortunate to have a guest who some might refer to as a unicorn of comedic production experience. Eleanor Winkler is an Australian who cut her teeth locally before flying the coop to pursue bigger comedy dreams. In this episode we dive deep into how a career like Eleanor's has been shaped. From stints on US Comedy Franchise: Funny or Die, being a showrunner for Will Arnett's Hot Date to Directing Physical Production on Kevin Hart's Hartbeat Productions, we have a true comedy chameleon on our airways. We even learn a little about how comedy is looking in the US and compare it with Australian economies of scale.


An episode not to miss! As well, Eleanor is a cofounder and executive backing Australian Inclusive film company: Bus Stop Films. Spoiler alert, Eleanor has moved back to Australia for a special project which finds its premiere at Sydney Film Festival https://www.sff.org.au/program/event/boss-cat/.
