To kick off April and the upcoming New Zealand Comedy Festival, NZ On Screen has launched a rib-tickling, borax-poking collection celebrating homegrown humour.
This collection highlights the caricatures, piss-takes, and sitcoms that have cracked us up, and pulled the wool over our eyes for over five decades. From turkeys in gumboots and Fred Dagg, to Billy T, bro’Town and Jaquie Brown. As critic Diana Wichtel reflects, watching the evolution of native telly laughs is, “a rich and ridiculous, if often painful, pleasure.”
