Dai's House Party - First Episode

As New Zealanders got used to staying in their 'bubbles' in the fight against Covid-19, comedian Dai Henwood launched a custom-made lockdown comedy show. It featured self-created video clips and sketches from a group of top Kiwi talent. In this episode Dai riffs off some topical current affairs stories, and Chris Parker and Brynley Stent play a cast of state-sanctioned walkers and runners, out and about in level 4. Los Angeles based Kimberley Crossman does a wicked Ellen DeGeneres impersonation, Rose Matafeo presents lockdown dating strategies, and Kura Forrester gets a haircut from her daughter.

That was a four second gag that took 48 hours of baking.
