JOY Breakfast

4 Jun 2025

Wednesday Breakfast: Jake Howie: Burning Bridges, Almond Oil & Queer Comedy Gold

Arts, Comedy, LGBTQIA+, Performing Arts

Kiwi comedian Jake Howie joins the JOY Brekkie crew ahead of his Melbourne International Comedy Festival debut, and it’s a riot from start to finish. From accidentally joining a Christian dance troupe to burning metaphorical bridges on stage (and maybe in real life), Jake dishes up razor-sharp stories with hilarious honesty.
In this no-holds-barred chat, Jake gets real about people-pleasing, queer rage dressed in glitter, and the self-respect glow-up that comes with turning 40. Plus, we play a cheeky round of Burn the Bridge or Mend the Fence—and no one is safe, not even Kevin from 2012.
Also: how Breaking the Musical got sued by Reagan and became a queer cult hit. This episode is full of belly laughs, big heart, and bold truth bombs. Come for the comedy, stay for the almond oil.
