In Dynamic Duos, Mumbrella each week asks two colleagues with a professional and personal affiliation to share with readers the importance of workplace relationships in an increasingly hybridised world of work.

Georgia Love:

Sammy and I had a mutual friend who was bugging me for years to meet him, to the point he reverse-psychologied (it’s a word if I say it’s a word, okay?) me into actually not wanting to meet him.

“Oh my god get over this Sammy guy, you’re being weird. He can’t be that great. Are the two of you in a pyramid scheme? How did you get my address?”, etc.

Alas, Sammy eventually invited me as a guest on his comedy podcast ‘Confessions’ and I couldn’t resist a spot behind the mic. I of course ate my hat (literally? I’ll never tell.) when I immediately fell in love with his warmth and humour. Since then, we’ve been fierce and fast best friends, well and truly taking over the friendship of the aforementioned mutual. Sorry, not sorry, Bill.

Sammy is the most lovable, loyal, kind and funny person anyone’s ever met. He genuinely lights up every room he walks into, I’m actually being entirely selfish in claiming him as my best friend because finding this kind of joy in human form should be shared as widely as possible. I will allow everyone to listen to him through our podcast though but that’s my final offer!

We share the exact same sense of humour and make each other laugh more than anyone else in the world and can talk for hours. We’ve been shushed during numerous movies and live shows, the last to leave many, many venues and yes, often begged to let the staff go home.........
