Why should we see your show?
The show gives people a chance to see the younger side of comedy. A side that's rarely represented and a source which is uniquely explored.
Tell us a joke in 25 words or less.
I work in an abattoir. It's a killer!
Who is the funniest person you know and why?
Rhys Mathewson. New Zealand's youngest professional comedian! Sixteen years old and already a major hit!
Borat - yay or nay? Why?
Yay but nay. Has its good bits and its bad bits. Though a highlight of the movie would have to be a certain fighting scene.
When were you last embarrassed?
Walking down Queen St wearing my grey German trench coat and having a guy call me Darth Vader.
What's the worst line you've ever delivered?
When ever I see sheep I say "Oh not yous [ewes]".
What were you like as a child?
A brat. Loved Ribena and sweets. Had a huge sweet tooth once.
If you weren't a comedian you'd be?
Mayor of Auckland. And Dick Hubbard knows it.
* Our correspondent Alaric Arapai and the rest of the Graduates, Caitlin, Rhys, Carl, Stacey, Calumm, Kieran, Ayla and Chris - are graduates of the Class Comedians programme.
Their show starts tonight at the Silo Theatre (6.30pm) and runs until Saturday.
