NZ On Air 30th Birthday - Wellington Paranormal

Web (Full Length) – 2019

Television presenter Hilary Barry praises whacky and "so dry" comedy series Wellington Paranormal in this video celebrating NZ On Air's 30th birthday. Barry talks about how the spin-off from What We Do In The Shadows is so different and understated that viewers tuning into halfway through could easily get confused. Writer/producer Paul Yates talks about rising respect for Kiwi comedy and how much of the show is ad-libbed, while Barry laughs about the great relationship between police officers O'Leary (Karen O'Leary) and Minogue (Mike Minogue).

I love Wellington Paranormal — I think because it’s so different and so whacky, and the humour is so dry that if you didn’t know it was a comedy, you’d tune in and go 'what the hell’s going on'.
