I hope to use this platform to normalise and encourage the discussion of failure, particularly through the lens of the entertainment industry, to show that it can be a stepping stone towards the road of success. Nothing is better than humour to normalise a situation, so having deep and meaningful conversations, interspersed with comedy and laughter, helps us celebrate and appreciate life's frustrating moments.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T12:19:50.156457+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063"},"episode":{"title":"#331: Luke McQueen - Authenticity & Humour","slug":"331-luke-mcqueen-authenticity-humour","published_at":"2026-03-23T04:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063/331-luke-mcqueen-authenticity-humour","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063","url":"https://funnyinfailure.libsyn.com/331-luke-mcqueen-authenticity-humour","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/funnyinfailure/Full_Luke_McQueen_AUDIO_ONLY.m4a?dest-id=2063339","summary":"Luke McQueen is an award-winning stand-up comedian, writer and actor, who you will have seen on 'The Moth Club', 'Comedians Giving Lectures', 'The Stand-up Sketch show' and 'Roast Battle'.
