Wellington Comedy is a supportive and talented community, but there aren't enough opportunities for our best artists to spread their work to a wider audience.

For this reason, I want to produce a high quality web series featuring the capital's best stand up comedians showcasing exactly what they can do.

Currently, all broadcast comedy in New Zealand is produced in Auckland, and priority is given to Auckland-based comedians. This denies performers outside of Auckland the opportunity to boost their career, and it also denies the New Zealand viewing public of variety.

Wellington comedy is HUGE. It's time to let the world know.

The Wellington comedy community has never been stronger and more exciting than it is today. Right now it is bursting with passionate, hard-working, talented people, and it's about time they were given a chance to shine.

This series will be a platform for these performers to reach a wider audience than just their comedy club live appearances alone.

Ideally, a wider reach will help to grow the already-booming Wellington comedy scene, giving even more opportunities to our incredible comedians, and even more comedy to Wellington's wonderful and supportive crowds.
