Kiwi Comedy On TV
This collection celebrates Kiwi comedy on TV: 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. In his backgrounder, Roger Hall reflects on the evolution of Kiwi TV comedy, while Diana Wichtel describes watching it grow as "a rich and ridiculous, if often painful pleasure".
