JASON and Nicholas Goliath are a riot with their The Hapiness Economy Comedy Tour at Pieter Torien Theatre, Montecasino.

If you haven't gotten around to catching their show, it’s still on for a few more days.

In a recent chat with the comedians, they unpacked a bit more about their new show, which, while it is hilarious, is also well-researched and has been extended into a podcast as well.

“Tfyou’re in the mood for a proper, solid deep laugh, involuntary laughter is the way Id like to explain it. It’s the show for you. In terms of our insights and research, that’s why we started the podcast.

“Because we've been so curious about trying to define happiness as comedians, Nicolas and I started the Happiness Economy podcast with the sole intention of interviewing people who we perceived as happy, people who we thought were happy based on their Instagram profiles, et cetera, and what they were showing us.”

Nicholas added: “What we found through the podcast, and now through the show, is that most people don't know what makes them happy ... No one teaches us how to find happiness for ourselves, by ourselves.
