Here's a little half-baked history recorded last year but never released. Hopefully it inspires you to get your hands on a ticket to see us next week at the Adelaide Fringe 2022 - the first bit of AdeLoL live content since the spicy cough trash our hopes of glory. You can't keep a bad idea down! AdeLoL is back. 

AdeLOL - Adelaide & SA's Hilarious History

We’re BACK! AdeLOL at the 2022 Fringe

We explore the life and times of the hilariously named Fanny Cocks, South Australia's first female police officer in this "Half Baked History". Unsurprisingly, a lot of this episode is just us making fun of her name. This episode is brought to you by Balfours and a video of the recording can be viewed on our Facebook page.

Fanny Cocks - Half Baked Histories

We're back, with huge thanks to Balfours. Here's a live show we recorded as part of the 2020 Adelaide Fringe, just before COVID-19 really hit. This hilarious local tale that has escaped the internet, until now. Dan had to go to the State Library and learn how to use microfilms to find the information on this one. It was 1999, and a simple mix-up at the Ridgehaven Pelican Plaza Cheesecake Shop produced a whole lot of panic, and ultimately, laughs. Thanks for sticking with us guys, more episodes coming soon, we promise.

Episode 45 - A Baked Cheesecake

In this little Giggleaide we learn all about illegal cheese production whilst catching up on the whereabouts of an old friend. 

Giggleaide - Mayor McCheese

This is the story of Colin Creed, recorded live at the 2020 Adelaide Fringe, just before the world got flipped upside down by this whole pandemic thing. Dan traces the journey of this infamous character from community cop, to Australia's most wanted man. We're not quite sure what took us so long to get to this story - it's got everything: corrupt cops, psychic premonitions, jokes about Tasmania AND a special guest!  We've been out of action for a couple of months as Covid-19 restrictions have prevented us from being able to get together and record. But we're getting the ball rolling again now by uploading the live recordings of our Fringe festival episodes (2020). We've got brand new episodes on the way, and some exciting announcements too. Watch this space! 

Episode 44 - Colin Creed - Recorded Live at the 2020 Adelaide Fringe.

Maybe it's all the lead in the soil, but the people of Port Pirie have acquired a bit of a reputation over the years for engaging in some very bizarre behaviour down on Solomontown Beach.  Join us as we journey back 100 years and hear about some of their antics.  Don't forget, our Fringe shows start tomorrow and there are just a handful of tickets left for each show. Tickets are selling faster than bog roll in a pandemic so don't leave it any longer.  #HeapsGoodHistory #AdeLOL #AdelaideComedy #ComedyPodcast #AdelaidePodcast #HeapsGoodHistory

A Ducking Good Time on a Port Pirie Beach

Ever gone Commando on a bicycle? Lots of stuff was happening around the world 75 years ago - but not in Adelaide. In 1945 as in 2020, there was pretty much fuck all going on down here.... except for these hilarious news stories which Dan found and put together for our new segment: It Happened This Week in SA (January 1945 Edition).   Don't forget that our 2020 Adelaide Fringe shows are happening in just over a week's time and tickets are selling fast. Get in NOW to avoid disappointment. All shows sold out last year! You have been warned.  #AdeLOL #HeapsGoodHistory #Adelaidepodcast #HaveALaughHaveALOL #ComedyPodcast #AdelaideHistory #SouthAustralianHistory

It Happened This Week in SA (January 13, 1945)

In 1971 the Adelaide Suburb of Albert Park made headlines right across the World when two volunteer martial arts instructors decided to settle, once and for all, the age old question: which is better, Judo or Karate?  .... Well actually, just one of the instructors wanted to answer the question, the other one appears to have been just trying to teach some kids.  Not for the first time, we dip our AdeLoL toes into the murky dark waters of Adelaide true crime.   

Episode 43 - Killer Karate

We got together for the last episode of 2019 to discuss the perfect South Australian themed gift options for our loved ones.  If you can spare a dollar or two to support those South Australians most in need after last week's bushfires please consider giving to the Vinnies SA Bushfire Appeal.  In 2020 we'll also be doing what we can to support those Adelaide Hills businesses that have been particularly hard hit by devastation... this means switching from drinking beer every episode to sampling more wine instead! It's the least we can do.  https://www.vinnies.org.au/page/Donate/Vinnies_Current_Appeals/Vinnies_SA_Bushfire_Appeal_-_December_2019/

2019 Christmas Special

We're back with a brand new episode of AdeLOL and just in time for some big announcements regarding the 2020 Adelaide Fringe Festival.  In this episode we discuss all the news articles that Dan has unearthed over the last two years that happen to feature South Australian men doing what so many of them (apparently) love to do... getting arrested for public nudity. We take a look at one nude, lewd, rude dude for each decade of the 20th century.  AND - grab your tickets for AdeLOL Stories - our live show coming to the 2020 Adelaide Fringe. We are also taking story pitches from listeners to be shared at the show, so listen in for all the details. 

Episode 42 - Nude, Lewd, Rude Dudes of the 1900s.

We've been offline for a couple of weeks as Tom has just had a new baby (Congratulations!). So here's a little Giggleaide to fill the time. Dan discusses his baloon phobia and we find out all about some elderly trolls from Port Augusta.  Back with new episodes and exciting announcements soon! 

Giggleaide - Trolls of the Pickering Post

If this episode sounds familiar to those that attended our last Adelaide Fringe show earlier this year, that's because we've told this story before. Unfortunately, due to technical issues on the night, we had to get the recorder out and go over it all again.  We explore what went wrong, what went right, and what some old blokes in the toilet at the Crown and Sceptre had to say about it...  This is a story about a boat with multiple personalities, a sex crazed swinger Captain and some excessive beer consumption on the beaches of the Cape Spencer headland (or 'peninsula' according to some). We've also got a beer in our hands as we tell this story, thanks to the good folks at Forktree Brewing; head out to Carrickalinga and sample their Sunrise Ale soon. 

Episode 41 - The SS Ferret

Take a Kenyan Official, add a few car parts, and what do you have? A weird chapter in Adelaide's hilariously corrupt (and failed) bid to host the 1998 Commonwealth Games.  Fair enough if you ask us; everyone knows that what foreign dignitaries love most is a carrier bag full of spare parts for a '94 Magna.  

Adelaide's Failed Commonwealth Games Bid

Tonight we're going to parcel like it's 1999. We're back with our 40th FULL Episode of AdeLoL. In this one Dan shares the story of a portly Postman who got himself in trouble back at the turn of the century when he decided to stop delivering the mail, and start hiding it in his closet instead. It was all part of an elaborate ploy to lose weight and eat more lettuce... or maybe letters.  Beer of the episode was the BRAND NEW Coopers XPA. Grab it now at your local bottle shop because it's a tasty bit of Ann in a Can! 

Episode 40 - Postman Fat

Planning on storming Area 51 next month? You might not need to travel so far (or get shot by an angry American) to see some extraterrestrial phenomena. It turns out South Australians have been spotting UFOs in the skies above our state since the early 1950s. We discuss a little article published recently on Allen Tiller's Haunts of Adelaide Facebook page about UFO sightings in 1954, and have a laugh along the way. Watch out for the anal probes!  #AdeLOL #HeapsGoodHistory #AdelaideComedy #ComedyPodcast #AdelaidePodcast

Giggleaide - UFOs of Adelaide (Circa 1954)

Stories of South Australia and Adelaide's unique, and often hilarious, past.
