Laura Daniel - Funny As Interview

Laura Daniel has appeared in and written for Funny Girls and Jono and Ben, and been Billy T nominated for both her own stand-up and duo Two Hearts (whose Funny As interview is here). In this interview she covers, among other things:

• Growing up watching Flight of the Conchords and The Topp Twins 
• The revelatory moment of seeing Madeleine Sami in Super City — "I was like 'that's it! I love this!'" — and managing to get a role in the second season
• Forcing her way into Funny Girls by constantly emailing producer Bronwynn Bakker
• How Me Too is changing the way women comedians are treated — both by other comedians, and by audiences
• Working with improv group Snort, and the impact that Snort member Rose Matafeo has had on Kiwi comedy
