In this week's episode of "Born Funny," Jimmy and Nath welcome Heath Franklin, the comedic genius behind Australia's most iconic Chopper Read impersonation.

Heath takes listeners on a hilarious journey through his career, from his early days in sketch comedy to becoming one of Australia's most beloved character comedians. Heath shares the accidental origins of his Chopper impersonation, inspired by Eric Bana's portrayal, and how he's kept the character fresh for nearly two decades.

He discusses his recent decision to tour as himself, which paradoxically led him to appreciate Chopper even more, and reveals the story behind his one surreal encounter with the real Chopper Read. The conversation covers Heath's brief stint in law school, his philosophy on accessible comedy, and the challenges of character comedy in Australia. He also drops pearls of wisdom about comedy writing, avoiding audience stereotypes, and crafting jokes that resonate with diverse crowds.

Heath Franklin proves that after 20 years, there's still plenty of life left in the Chopper character and in Heath Franklin.
