Stand up comedian Troy Kinne answers some candid everyday questions …
The state of my hair right now is …
Lazy, but as I just ran my hand through it, and now it’s ready to take on the world!
The state of my heart right now is …
Much like me after a weeknight pizza – full but in a naughty way.
The state of my undies drawer right now is …
Similar to my refrigerator. There’s items in there that only come out on special occasions and others that never get a look-in, but I just can’t bring myself to throw them away.
The best thing about comedy is …
It leads to laughter, which is the best thing to come out of our bodies. If you don’t believe me, try and name something better, but don’t be gross.
The worst thing about comedy is …
These days everyone thinks they can do it.
The most famous person I’ve met is …
Denzel Washington, and I tried to play it really cool. When he realised I was Australian, he asked if I’d been to Bali and I said, “Yeah all the time”. I’ve actually been once. Luckily there were no follow up questions.
If I could have one superpower it would be …
To have pizza be good for me, but still be bad for everyone else.
People don’t know that I once …
Had an operation on my willy as a kid because it has a condition called hypospadias. Google it, but don’t google image it! But, if you do google image it, mine is the one that can be bought as an NFT.
When alone in my car, I …
Rehearse jokes. At least that’s what I say I was doing when a victim of my road rage approaches me physically.
Back in High School I was …
A skateboarder. Yep!
I’m shit scared of …
Not fulfilling my artistic desires due to not being serious enough about exploring my full capabilities. And sharks!
If you want to make my blood boil, start talking about …
How kids on social media purposely comment with spelling errors to make words wound cool. It’s wak!
My best on-set stuff up was when …
I told the wardrobe department that the top they gave me for the next scene just wasn’t something I’d wear. Then they told me that I had brought it in from home.
My death row meal would be …
Pizza, delivered from my local delivery place. I’d get an extra 45 minutes of life while waiting for them to go back to get the 1.25 litre Zero Coke they forgot.
My favourite all-time TV character is …
Alan Partridge, followed closely by George Costanza (Seinfeld) and David Brent (The Office).
The song that makes me smile and want to dance is …
Pour Some Sugar on Me, by Def Leppard.
People often mistake me for …
Chris Hemsworth… I assume.
My gay mates are …
Organising their undies drawer as we speak and putting mine to absolute shame.
