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.
