A blog based record of one comedy fan's lead up to, and enjoyment of the 2012 NZ International Comedy Festival.
Who Am I? I'm Yvan. A.K.A. Dave, because it's hard to explain quickly to someone on stage how to pronounce my first name. You'll see me around some comedy gigs every few days. I'll be doing giveaways through the Facebook and Twitter pages up to, and during the festival.

My chat with Justine Smith and Steve Wrigley

I caught up with the fantastic Steve Wrigley and the wonderful Justine Smith at The Classic after the first Raw Comedy night of 2012. Below are the transcripts of the conversation. The audio for this (despite the hilarity that ensued) probably won’t be made available, due to the amount of stuff I’d have to censor, due to incriminating stories told, poor jokes on my part, and inside information mentioned.

 

Dont forget, you can find Jussi and Steve, with Dai Henwoods podcast HERE.

Chippin’ it up, with Rhys Mathewson

I caught up with Rhys on Thursday Night at the Northern Steamship for a couple of drinks and some chips. It was a 25 minute chat, filled with failed attempts at comedy on my part. I’ve trimmed a lot of it out of the transcript, but if you do want a copy of the audio, I’ll release all the interviews I’ve done, at the end of the festival. You can also flick me an email – comedy@24daysofgiggles.com and I’ll see if I can email it through.

A few facts about Rhys

  • He took part in Class Comedians at the tender age of 16
  • Voted 2009 Best Newcomer - NZ Comedy Guild Awards
  • Voted 2009 Best Newcomer - NZ International Comedy Festival
  • Nominated for 2010 Best Male Comedian - NZ Comedy Guild Awards
