Every year the Sydney Comedy Festival gets bigger and bigger, eagerly pushing on the tails of the more widely renowned Melbourne International Comedy Festival, coming up with new ways to experience comedy in the process. Last year, an event called the "Secret Show" was held, with secret acts in a secret venue. This year the successful, intimate concept has returned, with the venue this time around being the observation room of the Centrepoint Tower and the acts featuring a local host, two international guests and one Australian superstar.

Hear the creator of True Blood, Six Feet Under and American Beauty in-conversation with Wil Anderson.

“Beauty is in the strangest places. A piece of garbage floating in the wind. And that beauty exists in America. It exists everywhere. You have to develop an eye for it and be able to see it.”
