Two Hearts - Laura's Secret Weapon!

The Funny Girl has an equally hilarious boy in her corner

When Laura Daniel met comedian Joseph Moore at a party seven years ago, the Dancing with the Stars favourite never expected it would become the plot of a successful comedy show. She didn’t think he’d become her boyfriend five years later either.

“Joseph asked me out on a date at the after-party of a play I’d just done in 2012 and I was like, ‘Hell no,’ because I just wasn’t interested,” laughs the Funny Girls actress and comedienne. “But we did hook up.”

Nothing eventuated, but because they share the same circle of comedy friends, Laura kept crossing paths with director and scriptwriter Joseph, 30.

“We were part of the same improv group called Snort, and when I started at Jono and Ben, he was working there.”

Laura, 29, says they became writing partners. “He’s really musical and I love music, so we paired up and did the parodies and original songs for Jono and Ben. We were just friends that had a funny way of meeting each other.”

Since they gelled so well, the pair decided to start their comedy duo Two Hearts and as part of their pop-music inspired show, they joked about how they met.
