    • An unfortunate number of Wellingtonistas are rather fond of making rather terrible puns quite frequently, which means a lot of my time is spend making "Badoom chish!" sounds.

    • I have never been to the Comedy Divas evening, it is something that I have always intended to check-out, but have inevitably missed it every year. I think it’s the allure of a diverse range of comediennes and the promise of a goodie-bag for a reasonable buck, that gets me every time. Clearly a total win for a tight-arse that thinks stand-up comedy can be a bit of a gamble…

    • It's Comedy festival time in the Capital. Personally I think the timing is always quite impeccable as winter has just hit and with it comes the winter blues. There are loads of amazing local acts and also some brilliant internationals.

    • The Wellingtonista
    • Wellington's fourth most popular digi-folk paradists are currently shooting their 12-part HBO comedy series in New York, with fellow Wellingtonians Taika Waititi directing a couple of shows, and Duncan Sarkies providing the script for one of the episodes. All this, of course, is just an excuse to post some classic Flight of the Conchords for your listening enjoyment. Oooohhh yeahhhh, it's business time...
