As well as performing monologue comedy segments on The Comedy Company, Mole interviewed various celebrities, including Julian Lennon, Sylvester Stallone, the band INXS and Kylie Minogue.

Kylie Mole was also featured in the second series of the ABC's Kittson Fahey television show in 1993. In 2002, sixty minutes of footage of The Comedy Company was edited into a special called The Comedy Company: So Excellent, the subtitle referencing a famed line by the Kylie Mole character.
