The Quicky

The initial COVID19 outbreak hasn't hit Australia as hard as other places around the world, so now we're beginning to see the easing of a few restrictions.  What does this mean for the future of the virus? Will we see a second wave, as some countries have?  And, what did the second waves of other pandemics like Spanish Flu and SARS look like?

If you're a bit famous, you must be rich, right? Wrong. Especially in Australia's entertainment industry, where there are fewer big gigs and even scripted television is made for smaller budgets.  So, what has happened to Australia's artists since theatres, pubs and all live entertainment venues have been shut down? In short, they've lost pretty much all their income for the foreseeable future.  To redress this, Stan has commissioned a lockdown comedy festival and we're chatting with its producer and two of its stars about what a comedy career is without an audience.  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests:  Todd Abbott, Creative Director of Guesswork Television; Tom Ballard, Comedian; Nikki Britton, Comedian.  The Australian Comedy Lockdown Festival premieres May 9 on STAN.  Listener Feedback Survey: Take our 5 minute survey for a chance to win a $50 EFTPOS gift card https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5566501/ff2ba2d202a9  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

Last month, we met Maria in Spain, Roberta in Italy and Lotta in London.  Maria had just cancelled her wedding and was in lock down with her fiancee and both their mothers.  Roberta's was in lock down with her two children, seeing her husband's whole industry (cruise ships) collapse.  Lotta had a suspected case of COVID19 she couldn't get tested for, so had been quarantined at home.  Where are these women now?
