Comedian Rose Matafeo is leaving New Zealand for the bright lights of the UK - and to join her boyfriend, James Acaster.
The 23-year-old met the star English comic on the comedy circuit in New Zealand last year. The pair have managed a long-distance relationship since and 30-year-old Acasterwas back in Auckland to perform in March this year.
Matafeo confirmed she was leaving our shores in August to move to London. She will then tour and perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with fellow comedian, Guy Montgomery.
When asked for a photo with Acaster, she moaned: "Can't you do this story about just me? It's all about me, we seriously are not in the same town enough to have posed for any photos I like."
Spy thinks London will become a permanent base if Acaster has anything to do with it. Matafeo is definitely ready for the slog of working her way up in the UK comedy scene.
