Irish comedian travelling the country on his pushy Ian Dowling popped in for a yarn during the Gladstone leg of his tour.
Ian tells us his story and how growing up in Ireland watching Home And Away inspired him to come over to Australia and why he hasn't left for 20 years! We discuss why he begun standup, how he got fired from his job and how that inspired the On Ya Bike Kant tour, a standup comedy through Australia that he's completing on his push bike! We also discuss how he plans for long stints on the bike and many more war stories that this legend had to offer. Enjoy trendsetters!
