Australian comedian Anthony Jeannot has released his first stand-up album.
In his first year of comedy Jeannot won the Search for a Funny Bone competition in a field that included international superstar Ronnie Chieng (The Daily Show, Crazy Rich Asians) and Nick Cody (Conan).
After performing his debut Edinburgh Fringe show Life Coach (Age 14), Anthony teamed up with acclaimed director John Gordillo (who has worked with comedians including Dylan Moran, Reginald D Hunter, Josh Widdicombe, Tommy Tiernan, Shappi Khorshandi and Phil Nichol) to record his debut album.
The show focuses on Anthony slowly facing up to the realisation that life as a millennial is going to be harder than it was for his parents' generation, a fact that has been exacerbated by recent events.
Anthony says: “Right around the world, we’re experiencing an event that means the amount of people who we interact with indirectly is tiny. You miss those people watching moments, sitting at a cafe and hearing a couple having an argument that you’ve had with your partner. Those little moments that accidentally remind us how similar we all are. I think good storytelling comedy offers that. It lets you deep dive into someone’s thought process and pull things out and go does anyone else think that? The answer is often yes, and that is often the funniest thing, that we’re all a little bit crazy in the same kind of way."
