Morry Morgan is the founder of the Melbourne, Australian comedy school, School of Hard Knock Knocks. His journey in to the world of comedy was realized when he was about to give a presentation to a room full of business men and women and the projector he was using failed and he was asked by the technician to "stall". Using his sharp wits and sense of humor, Morry was able to entertain his audience with a few jokes. Deciding that he may need these skills again at some point he saw the need for a comedy school, and the School of Hard Knock Knocks was born. A comedy school "for keynote speakers, bucket list tickers, and comedians of the future!"  One of the overarching principles that Morry strives to achieve is that of giving back. Throughout our conversation, Morry circles back to how each and every aspect of SOHKK is to contribute to the world of comedy, to add to it, and to help present/create opportunity for young comedians. Now in its fourth year, School of Hard Knock Knocks is available to students in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.

The School of Hard Knock Knocks The Comedy Cast with Morry Morgan We speak about how Morry went from being a scientist to a successful businessman to co-founding Australia’s best stand-up comedy school, The School of Hard Knock Knocks, How to identify opportunities in niches, the nuts and bolts of teaching stand-up comedy, and how to say the dog’s bollox in Chinese. Morry Morgan is one of the founders of Australia’s best stand-up comedy school, The School of Hard Knock Knocks. We kick off the interview speaking a bit about Melbourne where Morry is living and whether they’re sick off all the Irish immigrants yet. Morry runs one of Australia’s best stand-up comedy school with Australian stand-up comedian Ben Horozitz, so we speak about for a bit, why they set it up in Melbourne and the ideas behind the school’s ethos. Morry speaks about how he took a stand-up comedy course to improve his stage presence while giving speeches, he met Horowitz on the course and they decided to go into business together and started The School of Hard Knock Knocks. Morry Morgan was a very successful businessman in China, so I really needed to know some bad language in Mandarin. We also speak a bit about his past in Cyber security and in particular some of the amazing drones that were developed while he was working there. Morry wrote a book about his time in China, Selling Big to China: Negotiating Principles for the World’s Largest Market, so we spoke about that, why he wrote it, its success and how it lead to Morry giving a Ted Talk on serendipity while living there. We get a bit deeper on that and speak about Serendipity a bit more, and I ask Morry about where does he think his readiness to embrace new ideas and his attraction to opposites and finding niches and improving on them comes from. We get back then to The School of Hard Knock Knocks and speak about the meat and the bones of the courses that Morry and Ben offer.
