Palsville

When comedian and lactose intolerant angel Taylor Griffiths visits Mayor Ashley in town, they're mid sludge talk when local lonely man Herman Withers stops by. He and Mayor Ashley recount their days at Palsville High, where she was an exchange student, and discover a "harmless" bet she made about him when they were teens has led him down a dark path. The local historian is called, a sentient dog chimes in with her take on a potentially dark situation, and male loneliness in Palsville is CURED.Follow Ashley Apap on socials @ashleycrapapFollow Palsville on socials @palsvillepodFollow Taylor Griffiths on socials @taylor_the_curatorFollow Mario Hannah on socials @mario.hannah_Created, produced and hosted by Ashley Apap thanks to Grouse House/Haven't You Done Well and Humdinger Studios (formerly Stupid Old Studios).

Writer, comedian and Voice of a Generation (not an opinion, just a fact, hunty!) Alistair Baldwin and Ashley really show instead of telling about their friendship in this episode. There is endless word association, discussions about their meeting and immediate chemistry, and getting to work together in Alistair's incredible play 'Telethon Kid' (performed at The Malthouse Theatre in 2023, huge slay alert).Follow Ashley Apap on socials @ashleycrapapFollow Alistair Baldwin on socials @baldwinalistairFollow Palsville on socials @palsvillepodCreated, produced and hosted by Ashley Apap thanks to Grouse House/Haven't You Done Well and Humdinger Studios (formerly Stupid Old Studios).

While trying to have a quiet cleaning day in her office, Mayor Ashleys' day off is interrupted by 2 frustrated couples: Tab and Tam (played by Dale Anderson and Hayley Tantau) and their next door neighbours Gabriel and Violet (played by Matthew Jackson and Millie Holten). Gabe and Vile, two surgeons doing important work are SICK of Tab and Tam's constant ruckus, caused by their travelling band. Mayor Ashley attempts to smooth this dispute, discovering different levels of gumming being performed, as well as the discovery of a surprise 6th addition to the episode who slides in and out unexpectedly.Follow Ashley Apap on socials @ashleycrapapFollow Palsville on socials @palsvillepodFollow Millie Holten on socials @millieholtenFollow Matthew Jackson on socials @thisismattjacksonFollow Hayley Tantau on socials @hayleytantauFollow Dale Anderson on socials @dale_andoCreated, produced and hosted by Ashley Apap thanks to Grouse House/Haven't You Done Well and Humdinger Studios (formerly Stupid Old Studios).

The incredibly multitalented Dylan Murphy (comedian, actor, writer, director, musician, AND MORE) sits down with Ash (and their "eternal buffer", Dougie Baldwin) to talk friendship. They go through how they met (Dyl remembers, Ash does not), how much they love each others approaches to stand up, many tangents and just have a grand old time!!!Follow Ashley Apap on socials @ashleycrapapFollow Dylan Murphy on socials @dylanpatFollow Palsville on socials @palsvillepodCreated, produced and hosted by Ashley Apap thanks to Grouse House/Haven't You Done Well and Humdinger Studios (formerly Stupid Old Studios).

Comedian and vocal wizard Josh Burton stops by Mayor Ashley's office when local musician DJ Slappa (played by Jenni Townsend) arrives in need of help: the towns beloved Klurb is under threat as the founder (Australian Idol season 1 winner Guy Sebastian) is pulling his funding. The three put their heads together to figure out how to save the Palsville institution, singing their way to a solution that somehow involves Doctor Who, an anti-oscar-dant and evolving LOL to ROFL to SMPL (shitting my pants laughing). Overall, it's magical.Follow Ashley Apap on socials @ashleycrapapFollow Palsville on socials @palsvillepodFollow Josh Burton on socials @joshdavidburtonFollow Jenni Townsend on socials @fiberopticduckCreated, produced and hosted by Ashley Apap thanks to Grouse House/Haven't You Done Well and Humdinger Studios (formerly Stupid Old Studios).

Comedian Robyn Reynolds arrives in Palsville to see Mayor Ashley when local youth Lil' Boris (played by Roxie Halley) attempt thievery of the Mayor's pens. They have a harrowing phone call down to the dog mines, harp on the significance of a pen license, and workshop a new revolutionary piece of theatre featuring the Mayor.Follow Ashley Apap on socials @ashleycrapapFollow Palsville on socials @palsvillepodFollow Robyn Reynolds on socials @therobynreynoldsFollow Roxie Halley on socials @roxiehalley_Created, produced and hosted by Ashley Apap thanks to Grouse House/Haven't You Done Well and Humdinger Studios (formerly Stupid Old Studios).

Director/writer/improviser/angel Haley Alea Erickson and Ashley talk about their immediate and undying love for each other. They remark on the big wet day of tears that solidified their budding friendship, how it felt to meet someone who felt so perfectly made to be a friend for the other, their aura colours (egg) and the gift of friends who don’t make you feel shame around your imperfections.Follow Ashley Apap on socials @ashleycrapapFollow Haley Erickson on socials @haleyaleaFollow Palsville on socials @palsvillepodCreated, produced and hosted by Ashley Apap thanks to Grouse House/Haven't You Done Well and Humdinger Studios (formerly Stupid Old Studios).

Actor/comedian/mentally well person Rhys Mitchell visits Mayor Ashley when local dentist Sarah Dentin (played by Hannah Camilleri) stops by for help with her practices' braces shaped fence. Sarah is definitely not trying to bribe the Mayor with a hamper she won, and Rhys is definitely not making friends with people simply based off how much they look like a fridge. Also, it's destruction week.Follow Ashley Apap on socials @ashleycrapapFollow Palsville on socials @palsvillepodFollow Rhys Mitchell on socials @rhystvFollow Hannah Camilleri on socials @camillerihannahCreated, produced and hosted by Ashley Apap thanks to Grouse House/Haven't You Done Well and Humdinger Studios (formerly Stupid Old Studios).
