Comedy


Half a world away, in the land of Middle Earth, is a hilarious comedian who's struck out on her own path. She's a hilarious and effervescent comedian, who didn't start standup until her 30's, and has crushed ever since. Like many others on the podcast, she forged her own path and gained notoriety strictly through her sense of humor and ability to get others laughing. She's totally effortless at getting both Zach and I giggling on the pod; we can see why she's gotten a lot of attention. A regular guest on Have You Been Paying Attention, she's also on Netflix's Comedians Of The World. She performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala from 2016 to 2018 and received ‘Best Female Comedian’ at the New Zealand Comedy Guild Awards.[4] She was nominated for the Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performer in 2018. In October 2019 she was presented with the Rielly Comedy Award from the Variety Artists Club of New Zealand for her contribution to New Zealand entertainment. From all points of view, this woman is prolific! We talk with her about starting comedy, making her mark, Edinburgh and Melbourne comedy festivals, and what people around the world find funny and how they're different. She just finished recording her next Netflix special just this past December. Stay tuned!
