55. Eurovision w/ Dec McHale

from Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle · host TapeDeck Media

This time I'm joined by Dec McHale, Stand Up, Improv Comic, Actor & icon from Auckland and he joins me on the show to talk about the behemoth music event that is Eurovision! I learnt a lot about the history of the event, how geopolitics influences the event depending on what's happening in Europe and then we talk about why Eurovision is meaningful to Dec, as well as how it has influenced him throughout his life. I learnt that Eurovision is sometimes known as "The Gay Olympics" which I found just delightful, most likely doing a follow up podcast with Dec about it!If you'd like to follow Dec, hit him on instagram @decmcomedy or get yourself down to the Wednesday Laughs at the Covert Theatre once a month, check his insta for the most up to date details!As always, make sure you join my FREE patreon page here for exclusive behind the scenes content such as backstage photos, uncut specials, set breakdowns, video podcasts and whatever other fun stuff I chuck up there!If you'd like to check out the tapas tasting menu of Eurovision Tracks that dec sent me, they are as follows:https://youtu.be/9DPAb9-Stmo?si=WP0bV5U7bxLxZjFZhttps://youtu.be/LpRq47hP_f0?si=fAzvUi1SlT-2yBsHhttps://youtu.be/BE2Fj0W4jP4?si=m8KowQgsLGCWRfW3https://youtu.be/3FsVeMz1F5c?si=bfXG3wY8AhOwGIEGhttps://youtu.be/Fv83u7-mNWQ?si=y8ez8DhS0s3cXgKYhttps://youtu.be/DREeDXs9ijc?si=v71G6U2wfTJtZyYWhttps://youtu.be/azw4Kh8Rqpw?si=MddcYNOHJbrTnhT_https://youtu.be/XAJ62IG3gBo?si=0oJ6rqYJ0H_V-oc2https://youtu.be/gAh9NRGNhUU?si=SfRmhLqyXGCGhkS0https://youtu.be/hfjHJneVonE?si=oCKI0fKAiMeVKrYZhttps://youtu.be/pHXDMe6QV-U?si=Kt3b1HAjV6_2SUbehttps://youtu.be/nBtQj1MfNYA?si=9dpen7icTo-KqA0FWatch my full hour-long stand up special Ruddzilla for FREE on YouTube here!Fill out the Ruddle Me This!
