Curated by NZ On Screen team 52 items
Traverse 50-odd years of funnies in this collection that celebrates local laughs on screen.
Overview
This collection celebrates Kiwi comedy on TV: the caricatures, piss-takes, and sitcoms that have cracked us up, and pulled the wool over our eyes for over five decades. From turkeys in gumboots and Fred Dagg, to Billy T, bro'Town and Jaquie Brown. In his backgrounder, Roger Hall reflects on the evolution of Kiwi TV comedy, while Diana Wichtel describes watching it grow as "a rich and ridiculous, if often painful pleasure".
