Onwards To Victory

Chris Dugdale has lived a life most people wouldn’t believe. From being handed a wad of cash by the billionaire who invented Skype at James Bond’s birthday party to performing for Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Richard Branson, the Queen, and King Charles, while he drunkenly said “just get on with the bloody trick,” while spilling custard all over himself. He shares many amazing stories, some he probably shouldn’t, including the one he was never meant to talk about because no one ever handed him that NDA. We discuss the time he broke down at the Pentagon and was comforted by a four-star general in front of 600 of the most powerful people in America. How a private two-hour booking with Beyoncé and Jay-Z turned into six hours of magic, clay pigeon shooting, and Jay-Z DJing his finale magic act. And the many surreal moments in showbiz that money can’t buy. Along the way, Chris reveals the mindset behind staying at the top of his craft. The psychology of misdirection. The discipline and obsession that shaped his career. The grief that nearly broke him. The persistence that saved him. And the backstage chaos that every performer lives for. A world-class magician, a world-class storyteller, and one of the most charismatic guests ever to sit down on this show.

Today we sit down with the legendary “Safety Magnus” himself, Magnus Thomas Rack, the quietly brilliant backstage mind who keeps shows lit, timed and safe, and knows exactly how to make sure nothing catches fire unless it is supposed to. Magnus talks about growing up between England, Paris and Belgium with academic parents, speaking French, and somehow finding his way into the chaotic world of live performance. He shares how he once wanted to be an actor before discovering tech and stage management, and why his real strengths are listening, empathy and reading a room. We get into moral compasses, mental health, journaling, the your head is a houseboat idea, and why he finds more meaning holding space for others than talking about himself. We also dive into his love of being a foodie, cooking from scratch, hosting end of fringe feasts in Adelaide, and using food as a love language for the people he cares about. Plus, Magnus breaks down his now legendary staff talent show roast of the tech team, the one that somehow makes everyone feel loved and seen at the same time. It is an episode about care, craft, mindset and the kind of person you want in your corner when everything is on fire.

Actor, singer and festival Producer/ Founder Tom Oliver joins Magnus to share one of the wildest modern fringe stories you’ll ever hear, from accidentally becoming the guy who runs a suburban arts festival to rescuing a 400-seat Spiegeltent that was rotting in outback Queensland and turning it into the beating heart of Wynnum Fringe. Tom breaks down the tent’s unbelievable origin story, the half-a-million-dollar headache of bringing it back to life, and how a last-minute $100K crowdfund, a mountain of steel and mirrors, and a village of dedicated locals, team members and artists made the impossible happen. We dive into what fringe culture really does for a community, the reality of building a festival from scratch when you’ve got more passion than money, and the Bay Pride saga where religious bigots tried to shut the event down with illegal flyers and a coordinated smear campaign. Tom opens up about being trolled, protecting his team, and what it felt like to stand his ground, then watch 5,500 people flood the Wynnum foreshore in rainbow colours to say “we’ve got you.” We also talk about the strange currency of community and culture, the toll and responsibility of leadership, and Tom’s big-picture dream for the Augathella Spiegeltent to host world-class shows in Brisbane and beyond. It’s part origin story, part war story, part love letter to fringe, and a powerful reminder of what happens when one strong-willed, sparkly human refuses to back down.

TAHIR is an award winning, internationally acclaimed stand up comedian with a career spanning over two decades. He has co created and starred in the hit sitcoms StreetSmart and Here Come The Habibs, and is a Logie winning actor best known for Fat Pizza, Housos and three feature films. Tahir is one of Australia’s most beloved live performers. In this episode, TAHIR brings that same energy to Onwards to Victory. We talk about why he only says yes to projects that look like fun, how being a “yes man to life” has shaped his career, and why he’s one of the only comedians who went on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! for reasons that weren’t tax related. He shares hilarious stories from Fat Pizza and Housos, how politically incorrect those shows were, and why no network today would ever touch them. We dive into his start as a drama teacher, how he messes with latecomers to his shows, and how he accidentally became a “dealer” in real life after playing one on TV. TAHIR also opens up about working hard, adapting to stay relevant in comedy, and why he’ll never have a “real job.” He even drops an exclusive that fans hate to find out. Packed with wisdom, wild stories and pure heart, including Magnus convincing him to swap clothes mid show despite his very clear no.

Charles Firth (from The Chaser) and James Schloeffel (from The Shovel) are the duo behind Wankonomics, the sell-out satire that’s taken over the corporate world from the inside. In this episode we finally sit down with them as they reveal how their shows draw in office workers and leave managers terrified to ever say words like KPI or synergy again. We pull apart acronyms, offsites, values, and the miracle of turning a North Star into a verb. We talk about how they met, how they became wankers, the grind of touring, and why they tweak every performance by one percent, night after night. We unpack how an all-staff crisis meeting became the frame for their newest show, why Wankonomics feels like therapy for anyone trapped in meetings, and how two Australian comedians built a world-class act out of email jargon and management speak.

Evan Desmarais is a hilarious UK based Canadian comic who dives headfirst into festivals all around the globe. He seems to attract outrageous experiences, from playing Mario Kart with Game of Thrones cast member Hodor, to wild late night gigs featuring surprise weddings, toe sucking (we do not go into detail), and even assisting a Norwegian tourist’s first time 🍒 it is all here. We get into the hustle of flyering strangers while someone is holding a knife outside the venue, the bold move of building a seven nights a week comedy scene in Manchester from scratch, and the challenges that come with it. On top of that, we get into touring life, relationships, performing across continents including Kenya, the spirit of comedy communities, and yes… even what happens when comics get distracted talking about sheep, robots, and S x.

Jessie Mikie Grant never had the chance to run away with the circus — because he was born into it. In this wild ride of an episode, Jessie shares some of the most jaw-dropping stories from life under the big top: globe of death disasters, raging windstorms that completely demolished their tent mid-tour, and the beautiful chaos of growing up in a traveling show. We go behind the curtain into the world of a true born-and-raised performer — and trust us, you’ll be hanging off every word.

Memphis Mae is the hostess with the mostest, the Burlesque Queen of not giving a single F. With her signature acts that are impossible to look away from (even if you wanted to), she’s become an unstoppable force on the stage. This episode is loaded with raunchy banter and edge-of-your-seat stories. From putting mint bubble gum in places it definitely wasn’t meant for, to talking Magnus into shoving his reproduction organ into a fan — purely for her own entertainment (spoiler: of course he did it). And believe me, that’s only the beginning. So wrap yourself in bubble wrap, shut the door, and settle in — this episode is wild, ridiculous, and absolutely unfiltered.

This week on Onwards to Victory, we tumble headfirst into the beautiful chaos of Swedish circus royalty with the one and only David Eriksson — juggler, provocateur, philosopher, and all-around master of the unexpected. With over two decades of jaw-dropping performances across the globe, David has carved a reputation as one of the most inventive and unpredictable forces in the world of contemporary circus. We dive deep into the method behind his madness — from juggling philosophy and self-sabotage as performance art, to keeping things weird, wild, and wonderfully human onstage. Expect hot takes, vulnerable truths, and more than a few moments of sheer unfiltered brilliance as David unpacks the absurdity of showbiz, staying authentic in a polished world, and finding magic in the mess. 🎤 Hosted, as always, by the irrepressible Magnus Danger Magnus, with ADHD energy at maximum setting and mustache fully locked and loaded. This is one for the freaks, the thinkers, and the showbiz romantics. SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST https://www.youtube.com/@OnwardsToVictory/videos WE’RE ON ALL PLATFORMS, BABY!
