Billy T James

Billy T James was a New Zealand comedy icon. His many impressions and characters, such as the Māori newsreader in Te News, helped make him a household name. He performed in numerous TV programmes, on stage and in Kiwi film classic Came a Hot Friday. Billy T is remembered for his infectious chuckle, black singlet and yellow towel. His legacy lives on in the Billy T Awards for young comedians.

I'm half-Māori and half-Scottish: one half of me wants to get pissed [drunk] and the other half doesn't want to pay for it.
