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.

Dai Henwood Giveaway
Hi Guys!
I’ve decided to do a giveaway.
In my interview with Dai Henwood we mentioned his DVD.
To win a copy of his DVD here’s what you need to do:
Send an email to: contest@24daysofgiggles.com
The subject line must be the name of Dai’s DVD.
In the body, tell me the story in your life, that is the closest to someone puking on your lap while you’re doing number 2, then punching you in the face funniest thing that’s happened to you at a music festival.
The closest story to that wins a DVD.
The comp closes next Wednesday Sunday night at midnight.
Only open to NZ Delivery Addresses.
Raw Comedy 2012 - Show One
Monday 13 February. The classic. The lights go down. Boycie drops the lights and brings up the music introducing the MC for the night – Steve Wrigley. The room breaks into applause. Steve Wrigley comes on stage…
I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was the first night I’d ever been to see Raw Comedy. I’ve been to more Friday and Saturday gigs than I can remember. Even a fair number of Wednesday night gigs. I was excited to see some new faces perform. I have to admit, the sadist in me was looking to see a few colossal bombs, and I was hoping to see some mediocre gear.
