AotearoHA

AotearoHA was the name used to introduce an occasional series of comedy specials on TV3. Shot before a live audience then edited down to a commercial hour, they showcased both emerging and established names in Kiwi stand-up — plus the odd overseas guest. Some editions followed a loose theme, e.g. AotearoHA - Driving Stories (2014). Over the years, the hosts included Oscar Kightley, Dai Henwood, Urzila Carlson and Australian Peter Helliar. Most of the specials were shot during the annual NZ International Comedy Festival.
