Joe Daymond: From Homeless to Star Comedian, Performing with Theo Von & The Power of Social Media
Joe Daymond is one of New Zealand’s best and funniest comedians who shot to fame during lockdown with his snackable social media vids.
He’s now an award-winning comedian, actor, director and producer who has sold out national tours across both New Zealand & Australia.
In this episode we talk about his fast rise through the NZ comedy scene, why he lived out of his car for months, becoming the youngest Kiwi comedian to sell-out Sky City Theatre – and why it may have happened too quickly, dealing with success, coping with criticism, performing with Theo Von and meeting Dave Chappelle, finding balance at home and what the future looks like.
Joe is hilarious, but he also has incredible depth. This conversation was a ripper, full of thoughtfulness and laughs.
Joe also looks a lot like Seamus – and as this one progresses you’ll see more and more about how eerily similar they are. Two beautiful men – it’s good stuff.

Good questions. Great guests. Few beers... Steve and Seamus like asking good questions. And they love good answers. After over 20 years of friendship, they bought a microphone and started a podcast, allowing them to sit with, and learn from, the most interesting people they can access.
From Kiwi legend Marc Ellis, to media personalities Jeremy Wells and Paddy Gower, Rugby coach extraordinaire Wayne Smith, sexologist Morgan Penn, and Olympian Dame Lisa Carrington... Between Two Beers has produced countless hours of incredible stories, career highs, lows and moments of raw vulnerability. And it’s only the beginning.
