Sorry it's been so long but I've been at Edinburgh Fringe and on holiday but we're back with a brand new episode featuring Orlando Baxter (@orlandobaxter) !

We talk about Australia's most famous nonce, Rolf Harris, the UK garage scene, Sofar Sounds and how his start in rap has become a part of his comedy and vice versa... and being Jewish. There's a lot of chat of anti-semitism in the UK Labour Party about Israel and Joe explains the change he's felt - and how he's become a reluctant mouthpiece.

He spent a year working at The Comedy Store in Sydney, where he did his first gig before going back home to be one of the rising stars of Scottish comedy.

He's currently storming the UK festival circuit, being one of the Scotsman's Shows to See at Edinburgh Fringe 2018 and Nominated for Best Musical at Leicester Comedy Festival 2019.
After a year in the UK, we talk about Australia vs. UK Comedy, coming up in the club circuit and the festival circuit - it's a pretty industry heavy chat so if you're a comic from either country, wondering if the grass is greener give it a listen.
Daniel Muggleton (@danmuggleton) has his comedy special 'L...
2019-06-071h 55The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#34 - Everywhere I've Ever Lived I'm a Visitor feat. Phil WangThis week I chat to one of the most-said names in comedy... it's Phil Wang (@PhilNWang)!
Born in Stoke-on-Trent, raised in Malaysia, 2 years at boarding school in Brunei and then doing his A-Levels in Bath before attending Cambridge. Phil's been a child of The Empire pretty much the whole time but he doesn't feel like he particularly belongs anywhere.
We chat about quitting smoking, Australianisms, the growing Asian comedy audience and his first ever gig doing Russell Peters' jokes at a high school drama night. Terrifying.
If you're a fan of people chatting a...

This week I chat with my very, very good friend and triple-threat Rohan Ganju (rohan_ganju)! Why a triple threat? He's a citizen of Australia, The UK & USA. Currently living in Melbourne, I get his first impressions of British life.
We talk about living on a canal boat in London, preconceptions about English people, being from Hove-actually rather than Brighton and where he could see himself living as a working comedian.

2019-05-141h 23The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#32 - 96% Voted for Independence, it wasn't Brexit feat Kae KurdApparently if I was Kurdish I’d be called Danny Tash, which is such a strong nickname I’m thinking of moving. This week I sat down with comedian and podcaster Kae Kurd (@kaekurd)!
We talk a bit of Kurdish history, including how they’d really, really like to be an independent state, drill music making it to Australia, how Joe Rogan is The Tonight Show in 2019, start his career in the urban circuit and growing up in Brixton. We also chat a bit about how difficult it is to explain Western Depression to Kurdish parents.

I think Russia’s been a mystery to a lot of people since the Iron Curtain, unless you got World Cup tickets, and who better to explain a bit that someone who grew up there before moving directly to Team USA! Well, it was the UK but an American school before going to college in the America.
We talk about Russia’s land mass bei...
2019-04-251h 28The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#30 - Call Ireland Potato Disneyland I Don't Care feat. Michael LeggeWe’ve got a real treat this week with Michael Legge (@michaellegge) popping in, excellent comedian, team captain on the 'Do The Right Thing' podcast, television host & retired thief. We talk Northern Ireland because it’s about time isn’t it?
Michael grew up in a small town that sounds like Newtown-Ornes but could be anything really (I couldn’t catch it over the hour) full of racists, and skipped university to move to London 30 years ago and begin working for Northern Ireland Media during the end of The Troubles (fun fact: they started when Michael was born and...
2019-04-101h 19The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#29 - Lee Nelson had Kids Way Before I Did feat. Simon BrodkinThis week’s guest let’s me cover a couple of bases at once, with character comedian Simon Brodkin (@SimonBrodkin) aka Lee Nelson joining me!
We kick things off talking about being Jewish on stage and off in the UK, a dash of Seinfeld history and then his past career as a Doctor in Manchester. He made a clean break and decided to become a character comedian - no overlap, never done a gig, not even a play at high school - and moved to London to get it done. And he did it almost immediately, it’s an i...
2019-04-021h 29The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#28 - Playing Race Cards feat. Dane BaptisteWith less certainty around #Brexit than ever, we’re taking a quick break and heading back to South London - with Dane Baptiste (@DaneBaptweets)!
Dane’s parents are first generation immigrants from Grenada, and we get into it with Anime, fighting trolls online, safe spaces in comedy - a bizarre interlude into knot tying knowledge - Caribbean country hierarchy and going to Grammar school surrounded by gang activity. He also tells me what he thinks about Australia as a regular on the Australian comedy festival circuit.
Dane Baptiste has his own podcast called ‘Dane Baptiste Questions...
2019-03-251h 45The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#27 - Romanians Look 10 Years Older feat. Radu IsacThe only country in the Brexit series that I haven’t visited… Romania! Best kept secret? Country still finding it’s feet? I got no idea, but Romanian comedian Radu Isac saves me the trip.
Radu Isac (@raduisac) started performing in Romanian before transitioning into English while living in LA, a place he planned to live forever before one of the most brutal VISA issues I’ve ever heard. He grew up in Romania’s version of Hull just after the fall of the Soviet Union when it was pretty much lawless, having good wifi and no plumbing...
2019-03-141h 32The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#26 - Germans don't have Sex Behind Bins feat. Christian Schulte-LohWe’ve got a HUGE guest this week continuing our #Brexit theme, seriously he’s the tallest working comedian in the UK, it’s Germany’s Christian Schulte-Loh (@GermanComedian)!
He’s spent a decade between the German & UK comedy scenes, and we chat about the Dutch-German football rivalry is the real one, they just let the English feel included, his past life as an erotic game-show producer, getting paid for his 2nd ever gig, winning King Gong at The Comedy Store and the peace-keeping role of the European Union - and Britain’s importance to that.

2019-03-051h 32The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#25 - Dutch People don't Smoke Weed feat. Micky OvermanWe continue our #Brexit themed chat with European comedians and I sit down with the incredibly Dutch Micky Overman (@. She says she’s very Dutch, I have no idea what that means but the cool thing is we get to find out together.
She studied in Amsterdam she says that all tourists have the same story, finally tells me what the Dutch national cuisine is - think sandwiches, but incredibly plain - and that Flemish and Dutch are the SAME LANGUAGE! Who knew? Them, apparently.
We also get into the Dutch colonial history and what Br...
2019-02-271h 26The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#24 - Grexit vs Brexit feat. George ZacharopoulosMarch 29 is approaching which means Brexit time, so I've decided to get a bunch of my EU comedy mates around and chat to them about what it means. Kicking things off as they tend to historically, it's Greek comedian George Zacheropoulos (@GreekComedian)!
He flew to the UK 3 days after 9/11, lived here for half his life as a Greek Geordie (read: in Newcastle-upon-Tyne) and now should be able to stay regardless of what happens.
After wading through through a (potentially) offensive discussion about offence, we get into the meat of it with George’s avoiding compulsory mil...
2019-02-201h 40The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#23 - Kangaroos are Assholes feat. John HastingsOn the podcast this week is Canadian & pale man John Hastings (@thejohnhastings). Growing up in Ottawa, the Canberra of Canada in a political family, he’s called the London home for the last 6 years but now he’s giving it a red hot go in LA. Come listen to why he left the UK (hint: it destroyed him).
We talk about drink driving, Brexit, a bit of world history, kangaroos, and Dan doesn’t know where celebrities are from again. He is the most fired up about Brexit out of any guest so far so if you’re at all...
2019-02-121h 44The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#22 - We Auditioned for Spielberg feat. Phil Nichol (Part 2)The second part is here! Phil Nichol's chat is turning to Corky and the Juice Pigs and being the next big thing in LA. That's right, he was the toast of Las Angeles and on MadTV.
Phil Nichol (@philnichol) kicked things off with a punk rock approach to comedy. Turning up to Just For Laughs and Melbourne International Comedy Festival without a show, smashing it on the street and then ending up on TV with sell-out shows. Not a bad effort.
The chat is a little heavy on the comedy, but Phil's had such an...

Phil Nichol (@PhilNichol) was born in Scotland, he grew up in Canada, overcame a stutter to become a member of one of the most successful comedy bands in the world - Corky and the Juice Pigs. But the band's in Part 2, for the minute we talk about his theatre trained voice, trying to impress incredibly religious parents and Canadian & Australian place names.

Adam (@adambloomie2) is a veteran of the UK comedy circuit & television for the last 25 years who's never stopped evolving his act, his joke writing is legendary and he's basically an encyclopaedia of comedy wisdom.
I got him on because he grew up in the suburbs of London, moved to Soho, then to Green Park and finally to Zone 7 - before getting back in the mix in Crouch End. He's the first comedian I've met who won't leave...
2019-02-031h 32The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#18 - Adelaide to Edinburgh feat. Ro CampbellAustralia's Ro Campbell (@rocampbellcomic) comes on the podcast - with his notes - to bully me about not watching enough Aussie cinema.
The 90’s as the highpoint of English culture, Australia’s history of race riots, teaching English in Nepal, being a famous sign-spinner in Edinburgh, eating with Dave Grohl as a roadie and his Mum, becoming Scottish Comedian of the Year when you’re not Scottish, playing pranks on tour with Little Britain and doing comedy in 38 different countries.

I thought after year it's probably worth sitting down and having a chat about what's changed and what hasn't after living in London for a full year. It's a bit of ramble, but I manage to get through some thoughts on: accents, the food, the weather, drinking culture, London itself and a couple of things guests have said that I've taken to heart.

He's a stand-up comedian, officially known as The Honourable Tom Houghton (@HonourableTom) whose Dad has been knighted... twice. We talk about The Tower of London, living in The Queen's House, trying to order take-out when you live across a moat and two battle gates, Queen's Guard vs Beefeaters, the noble Turducken, going through kidnapping training and having no chance of impressing your Dad.

The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#6 - The Street Signs have the same Font feat. Ray BadranWe're kicking off Australia month at The Union Jack Off. Daniel Muggleton (@danmuggleton) is back in Australia doing shows so he's speaking to fellow Sydney-London transplant Ray Badran!
Ray Badran (@RayBadran) is a pleasure seeker and one of the most observant people you'll ever meet which is pretty obvious when talks through the English supermarket hierarchy, Subway sandwiches and leaving a Tipperoo. Honestly, I know it seems like product placement but that's just how he thinks.
We talk about Hudderfield FC who are known as the Terriers, and here's the link I promised to explain bl...
2018-10-221h 21The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#5 - Life isn't about Happiness feat. Loyiso GolaWe're going back to South Africa with Loyiso Gola (@loyisogola). Emmy-nominated, award-winning, world touring and very funny, he's bringing the wisdom on this episode after he's finished eating.
He tells me why you should buy a house near a McDonald's, why Argentina feels like a colony and why Loyiso has figured out that life isn't about happiness. I get schooled on being too English with my false modesty, but maintain that's an Australian thing. It's a good chat with a man who really thinks about things and comes with a bonus parable.
Loyiso mentions South Af...

Nigel NgI sat down with Malaysian Sensation Nigel Ng, the winner of the Amused Moose 2016 Laugh Off, to talk about coming from Asia to the UK. Malaysia is a Commonwealth country but do they still have the Queen on everything and drive on the left?
We talk about having 2 jobs, Crazy Rich Asians, how if he wants to be poor he'd be poor at home, being the only person studying Engineering and Philosophy at university and why instead of donating to charity you should just buy fake Nikes. I loved this chat, Nigel is a great dude and...
2018-10-081h 29The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#3 - 'I did check and there's no Jews' feat. Dylan GottI caught up with former London resident Dylan Gott (@dylangott) to figure out why he left. Dylan's from Toronto in Canada, and lived in the UK for just over 2 years before retreating back home with his wife. He told me why London's the best live comedy scene in the world, about bumping into people and not fighting them, and how weird it is that English people who live in the country are normal people.
Dylan Gott's back headlining Yuk Yuks all around Canada, but he returns to the UK in May 2019. Get around his podcast if you're i...

The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton#2 - Liverpool invented Slavery feat. Adam RoweIt's the second episode and Daniel's playing an away game today, chatting with Adam Rowe in his flat in West Derby, Liverpool. I know Liverpool's not a Commonwealth country but it's one of the most parochial parts of England and definitely has its own personality - so there's plenty to learn.
Adam's a great stand-up comic who can be found headlining clubs all across the UK on any given weekend, he's from a working class background and takes pride in the fact he's considered a hard-working comedian.
We talk about what it'll take for him t...
