Not Again Podcast Episode 154 - Matthew Giffen

Hey guys! We are back from our long hiatus! How have you been?

Today, I'm sharing an exciting and sentimental episode with one of the most influential comedians to have contributed to the Singapore Comedy Scene, Matthew Giffen! 

In this episode, we catch up with each other after a long time and compare our pandemic experiences in our two separate countries, the UK and Singapore, how we've both been over the years and the many life changes we've experienced thus far. 

He tells me what life has been like since he moved back to the UK, how it was like starting a family and getting a dream job at Disney and his experience restarting his comedy career after moving.

We reminisce our shared times in Singapore doing comedy together and have a wonderful recollection of our dear friend and wonderful comedian and musician, the late Vernon Lewis: Our life with him and what it was like after his sudden passing and the effect he still has on our lives today. 

We share inside stories of the comedy scene in Singapore, what it was like in its earlier days, the drama we experienced then and how things have changed. He shares his experience at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival and why he wanted to start a comedy company in Singapore.
