Two personalities, one podcast. Meet Chopper AND the man behind the moustache: Heath Franklin
Kiwi YarnsShow Notes
This week is a Kiwi Yarns first.
There's a guest - well actually there's two guests - but it's the same person...(let's see how this goes!)
Australian comedic performer, improviser and writer Heath Franklin is with us. But first, you will see or hear the character he has brought to life - Chopper - based on the notorious Australian criminal Mark ‘Chopper’ Read- for 20 years.
Then, we whip off the mo and you'll get to know Heath. We hear about what it's like playing a character for so long (the good and the bad), his love/hate relationship with social media, and that awkward meeting with the real Chopper Read.
