  • Pat Sharp - aka Fun House legend and DJ extraordinaire
    Oct 16 2024

    Pat joins Genevieve to reminisce about making the whirlwind of fun and excitement that was the iconic kids' game show, Fun House.

    He chats about gunge, getting knocked over by Fun Karts, the pitfalls of working with children and of course the Fun House twins Melanie and Martina.

    He also explains how despite running for a decade, Fun House only took up 11 weeks of his whole life.

    Pat also talks about his 40-year radio career, his foray into pop stardom and why he's happy to live away from the spotlight now.

    Plus he reveals the future of Fun House, his unexpected passion for car washing and reflects on the legacy of his iconic '80s mullet.

    Eddi joins Genevieve to reminisce about her quick rise to fame after Fairground Attraction's debut number one hit Perfect.
