Meet The Big Couch

See what makes The Big Couch tick...

Dean Clairs

Clairsy from The Big CouchA radio veteran who's been on the air here in Perth for over a decade. Clairsy is the guy who tries to hold the show together each afternoon while Nat & Shane attempt to take it off the rails. Clairsy, a one-eyed Dockers supporter who MC's all their home games, has a brain full of music facts and trivia - best not to get him started!

Nat Foster

Nat Foster from The Big Couch on Mix 94.5Also a Perth local who moved here from the UK as a youngster. Nat worked the Perth comedy circuit for a bit until being lured to radio in the south west. She moved to Mix 94.5 on the Saturday Show with Clairsy & Shane for a couple of years before they moved to Monday to Friday 4pm-7pm as the Big Couch. Nat is also a one-eyed Dockers supporter, making her way to as many home games as she can.

Shane McFarlane

Shane McFarlane from The Big CouchAnother one from Perth who has travelled the Australia working on radio until coming back to Perth six years ago to land a job at Mix 94.5. Shane used to be a member of famous Perth strippers Collars ‘n’ Cuffs (but that was a million years ago). Unfortunately, these days we have a hard time convincing him to keep his clothes on.

Shane is a full on West Coast Eagles supporter, using every opportunity to remind Nat and Clairsy of course, and spends most of his spare time entertaining his son with sword fights!
