Rose Matafeo operates at full energy for the entire hour.
Rose Matafeo's Horndog, the follow up to last year's widely acclaimed Sassy Best Friend, is a high energy hour of jokes and stories.
Despite only being in her mid-20s, Matafeo has been in the comedy game for a decade already, and was last year named as a comedian to
watch by the Guardian.
Matafeo's charm is evidenced by the fact that, despite her acclaim, international success and obvious drive, she wholly manages to convince the audience to buy into the idea she's still the same 12-year-old dork who brought a leather briefcase to school every day and couldn't figure out why boys didn't like her.
As one half of the podcast Boners of the Heart, which Matafeo hosts with fellow Auckland comedian Alice Snedden, Horndog is similarly conversational in tone.
Rather than a co-host, Matafeo communes with the audience, often pausing to ask facetious questions or check whether we're on board with a joke, becoming self-deprecating if she senses we're not - or maybe it's just a bit.
