He’s a writer, a broadcaster, a hectic tweeter and he’s trying to help you be richer, healthier and ridiculously good looking! Melbourne-based comic Titus O’Reily knows a thing or two about watching sport on the couch, but he actually also goes out there and spreads the word during his live show, Better Living Through Sport. O’Reilly speaks to 2ser about Melbourne’s sporting reputation, the parallels between sport and real life and his forthcoming book Please, Gamble Irresponsibly, which tracks the history of sports betting in Australia.

You can see Titus O’Reily live on Friday 30 August at The Comedy Store. Go to frontiercomedy.com for tickets and more info.
