Travel broadens the mind. Naz disagrees. As a stand-up comedian he spends a lot of his life on the road and for him, travel sucks. Delays, terrible food, strange beds, hotel neighbours ‘getting to know each other’ are just some of the pitfalls that make him want to stay at home. Together with fellow stand-ups from Australia, and elsewhere, he’ll convince you on this ABC Radio Comedy podcast to burn your passport and stay the hell at home.
Comedian and writer Mitch Benn is joined by celebrity guests to discuss ways of staying sane and positive while we're all Confined to Barracks.
