Tom Scott, John Clarke, David McPhail and Jon Gadsby talk about the nature of New Zealand satire; Pio Terei, Peter Rowley, and Billy T James producer Tom Parkinson discuss the pros and cons of race-based humour; and the Topp Twins explain the art of sending people up rather than putting them down.

As a Kiwi now residing in Oz, it is refreshing to see Kiwi humour again, as basic as it is! Expecially John Clarke who is now on TV here and even funnier. Great website
