The project scored $339,595 from NZ On Air’s ditigal content partnership fund in April last year, and the website is now up and running after extensive testing.
Bevin Linkhorn, Gibson Group’s producer for the project, said, “Mash Pit Comedy will be New Zealand comedy at its most raw and that’s where the laughs are. It’s a good opportunity for any kiwi, and grassroots comedians and actors in particular, to show us their stuff and mash up the work of others too.”
