Advice Accreditation Bureau

Everybody has advice. Not all of it is good. So comedian Andy Procopis created Advice Accreditation Bureau — a fake government department reviewing the modern life advice flooding your feed.

Each episode, Andy sits down with a funny yet unqualified guest to examine popular self-help tips, life advice, and personal rules. Every case ends with a verdict: Accredited or Revoked, despite no one in the room being remotely qualified to decide.

This week, I'm joined by the wonderful comedian, writer and producer, Brendan Hancock. We talk pool parties, Sex and the City, and geopolitics in the Middle East. Brendan reveals he wasn't a child piano prodigy, he's not in crisis, and that he likes to crack jokes during sex. While I flex my power at the Bureau and my ability to recall the iMDB history of Australia's own Murray Bartlett. We then go on to give advice to parents, which as two childless men, we're well positioned to do. Enjoy!

This week, I have a very funny and meaningful chat with comedian, Anthony Locascio. We talk about Anthony’s time at a silent “course”,  review my wog credentials, and share our very different core memories about the Home of the Arts (HOTA) on the Gold Coast. If you're a comedian, live in Adelaide, or someone who does or doesn't wear deoderant, there is something in here for you. You can catch Anthony's show The Divine Comedy at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival or various dates around Europe. Links below.

This week, I have a rambunctious chat with John Glover. Do not be fooled by the title of this episode... this is not a finance podcast. We have both splurged on Invisalign. Besides spruiking dental boutiques and forcing me to look at his wet teeth, John challenges the motives of those you work with and draconian driving laws. I out myself as driving automatic and prove to be combative, singlet-wearing host, despite my lifelong commitment to be kind to others. You can check out John on his Substack or in his show Be My BFFFFFFF at the Melbourne International or Sydney Comedy Festivals.

This week, I'm joined by Guneet Kaur. Guneet is a fantastic comedian and MC who never bombs, and if you've heard otherwise, you've heard wrong. We talk about not needing a reason to leave your job (other than paying rent) and how 22-year-old relationship coaches on TikTok might not know what they're talking about.  If you're in Melbourne or Sydney, you can check out Guneet at each cities' Comedy Festival.

This week, I have an earnest and hilarious chat with one of my favourite comedians, Steph Broadbridge. Steph is the creator of Breaking the Musical, a musical inspired by her four-year-old nephew and definitely not about a litigious Olympian. We talk about having a mantra, how gay men meet each other, and why a job you only like, and not love, is okay. You can check out Steph, and the rest of the cast of Breaking the Musical, at the Canberra Theatre Centre on Saturday 21 March 2026. Ticket details below:https://canberratheatrecentre.com.au/show/breaking-the-musical-2026/

This week I’m joined by comedy writer and former model, Tommy Farrelly-Rogers. Tommy looks like he has it all: Armie Hammer good looks. Two surnames in this economy.  But he wants you to know he’s a sweaty guy who struggles with procrastination and IBS. We talk about flaky advice, the beauty of assonance, and the greatest tragedy to happen ever in Germany. So heat up your Activate Meal (not a sponsor) and enjoy the episode.

This week I’m joined by Author, Creator, and Norwegian tourism ambassador, Joshua Fox. Joshua shares his savvy money making tips for singles wanting to get on the property ladder. While I learn how to say "I need water" in Norwegian and what the term "oily" means in English. We also reminisce about a time before ick was a word and chat about whether you need to pay $30 to learn how to not give a f*ck. So take off your socks, get comfy, and enjoy the episode.

This week we have one of my comedy Godmother’s joining the pod... it’s the absolutely delightful, Bec Charlwood. Bec brags about meeting Jane Krakowski and contemplates getting a new doctor. While I discover that Highlander and Outlander are two completely different shows. We also respond to a listener question that is for the ages. So limber up your wonky knee and tune in as two aspiring matinee comedians pursue a dream.

It's the new Lunar New Year... or is it? To help me celebrate is Kevin Han. Not because he's Extremely Tall and Incredibly Chinese (the name of his 2025 MICF show) but because he has great taste in music. We make jovial small talk about light hearted topics like drugs, religion, and recreational schizophrenia, before embarking on a deep sea dive into a much more serious topic... Carly Rae Jepsen.

The virgin flight of Advice Accreditation Bureau is taking off and joining me to serve moist towelettes and laughs is Jake Howie. His show Baddie Burns Bridges is playing at the Factory Theatre in Sydney on February 19, but he's stopped by the Bureau to have a gossip (because that's allowed) and pursue his dreams (because he still has time). Hopefully you will learn something, or laugh at something, or failing that, feel the uncontrollable urge to explore Kelly Clarkson's back catalogue.
