Ep. 95 - Interview: Bella Green; Comedian, Author and SWer

Author: Danica November 10, 2021 Duration: 52:33
Today we are joined by Bella Green (@bellagreenery) . Bella is a stand-up comedian, writer and sex worker living in Melbourne, Australia. She got her start in comedy by telling jokes in brothels to anyone who'd listen. Now she tells jokes in some of the best comedy rooms in the country.  Her debut stand-up hour “Bella Green is Charging For It” answers all the questions you’d never thought to ask about the adult industry. It won Best Comedy at Adelaide Fringe 2020 and was nominated for Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe 2018.  Bella was a guest on the Wilosophy podcast in 2020, with Wil Anderson describing her as “a brilliant stand-up comedian” and her memoir 'Happy Endings' was released by Pan Macmillan in 2021. We chat with Bella about her experience writing her memoir “Happy Endings”; how her SW and comedy work overlap; share her weirdest stories from her SW career; discuss how working in the s3x industry has changed her; share her journey with addiction and rehab; and a ton more!  After reading (or listening - shoutout to audible) Bella’s memoir and absolutely loving it, it was such a pleasure to sit down with her and have the opportunity to ask all our lingering questions (What happened to the meth time guy? Has she p00ped on anyone since her dungeon disaster?). Trust us when we say, you are going to adore Bella’s humour and candidness … so once you’re done this episode go buy her book and thank us later!

Hosted by Danica, 50 Plus a Tip is a conversation between two stripper best friends who pull back the curtain on their real lives. This podcast navigates the messy, funny, and often misunderstood world of the adult entertainment industry from the inside. You’ll hear their unfiltered stories about the job’s unique challenges and unexpected triumphs, blending personal anecdotes with broader discussions on society, health, and culture. The tone is candid and frequently comedic, because sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Alongside their own perspectives, Danica and Riley bring in special guests to expand the narrative, offering a platform for diverse voices within their community. Their goal is straightforward: to replace harmful stereotypes with genuine human experience. By sharing the highs and the lows-or as they call them, the (b)lows-they create an intimate space for listeners to understand a profession shrouded in stigma. Tuning into this podcast feels like sitting down for a brutally honest, and often hilarious, chat with friends who have seen it all. It’s about the reality behind the glitter, the economics beyond the stage, and the personal stories that rarely get told in mainstream conversations.
