On his third visit to the WIlosophy studio, Shaun Micallef reflects on his moving away from Mad As Hell. a desire to dip his toe into Stand-Up, and the impact getting older has on your interactions: namely the benefit of a hug hello or goodbye.

Plus he talks about the influence of Barry Humphries, sketch comedy on Full Frontal, the excitement of doing a play and the gratitude of "starting late" in the entertainment industry.

Shaun reflects on what he learned while making the doco Going For Broke about gambling for the ABC and his excitement about helming the Aussie Adaptation of Parent's Evening for Channel 10.
