), we have another option for you if you’re in Sydney tonight. Lads Angus Truskett & Andrew Levins do a fucking funny podcast called ‘Hey Fam’ – you’ve probably heard of it, and if you haven’t, you should have – and tonight, they’re taking the pod live and the cast to the stage.
Hey Fam’s going up on stage, and they’re gonna be doing it with a ‘Hey Hey It’s Saturday’ theme. So far, the show promises an “amazing night of variety, the likes of which have not been seen since the late nineties”, and an A+++ lineup.
