Comedian Joel Creasey Shares the Books, Shows and Apps He's Loving Right Now
The comedian, actor and co-host of Nova FM’s national radio show Kate, Tim & Joel was the host of Qantas’ WorldPride Flight in February 2024. He tells us what keeps him occupied on the ground.
Right now, I’m streaming…
The Crown, which I’m absolutely loving. I’m a huge Imelda Staunton fan and she’s playing the Queen, and I think Elizabeth Debicki is just sensational as Diana. I also binged The Watcher with my partner, Jack Stratton-Smith. The house in it was stunning. After watching the first episode, I told him, “Oh my God, we need to get a holiday house!” But by the end of the series, I was like, “Under no circumstances are we to buy a holiday house.” It was way too scary.
The last book I read…
Was an absolute piece of crap I finished while on holiday in Singapore so I won’t mention what it was called. I really only read when I have time, which is when I’m on holiday, otherwise I read websites like Pedestrian and LADbible.
The podcast I keep going back to...
Is called Gasbagging. I’m a Real Housewives, Below Deck kinda guy and it’s basically a Real Housewives recap podcast but they cover all of reality TV and it’s very funny. It’s hosted by this Sydney guy, Dan Morrison. I’ve never done this in my life but I actually messaged him and asked if I could be a guest on it! And I know this is really daggy but every night in bed I put my AirPods in and drift off to the audiobook of Harry Potter. It takes me back to my childhood, that magical escapism – it’s very soothing.
The last movie I watched…
It was one with Naomi Watts called The Desperate Hour, about a school shooting. It was very heavy but great.
The app I use the most…
I’m still on Twitter and so far it’s been a great source for news. I wake up every morning and check it. I also like Instagram – it’s the friendliest social media app in my experience. But I also love, love, love planes. If there’s a plane flying over I can pretty much tell you what time it’s landing or what time it took off and where it’s going. So I love Qantas – and I love One Mile at a Time and follow The Points Guy.
