#326 - Sammy J & Hero Complex Returns
In this episode the gang is back together after a few months of separation, as they chat with Australian comedian Sammy J, who 10 years ago toured Australia with his award-winning show Hero Complex. This show explores the friendship between two men who bonded over Phantom comics and spanned from the schoolyard to an Australian federal agent searching an attic.
Sammy J talks to us about the last 10 years, and how because of the show, it has seen several great future stories to be told. This 2026 version of the show is a great encore with many more laughs to be had. Sammy J, will tell us why, even if you attended the first show, this is not a show to be missed.
The beauty about this show is that it is a great opportunity to attend the show with your friends and loved ones who may have questioned your addiction or, if you are lucky enough, attend the show with other like-minded Phantom phans from around the country. If you would like to attend one of the shows and would like to attend with another phan, let us know and we will help where possible to connect you with one.
