Can you give us a tweet-length summary of your show? Mild-mannered Kiwi turns weed-smoking, swearing, road rage lover who wants to celebrate and commiserate over the current state of humanity.

How do you unwind after a show? A beer at the bar and a discussion about the nature of the universe. Or possibly six beers at the bar and a discussion on the nature of the bar. Or 12 beers and a discussion about the nature of the floor.

Do you have any topics you avoid making jokes about? I’m leaving the big taboos for the shock jocks. They’ll be fooling around with rape, AIDS and racism. No time, I’m too busy tackling big ideas like heartbreak, McDonald’s and the tragedy of office life.

Is there anyone else in the festival you’re hanging out to see? Ari Shaffir, Arj Baker, Dave Hughes, Dr Brown, FanFiction Comedy, Hannah Gadsby, Heidi O’Loughlin, James Acaster, Jim Jefferies, Josie Long, Markus Birdman, Neil Hamburger, Noel Fielding, Rose Matafeo/Guy Montgomery.
