Funny

Karori Confidential, a collection of Sunday columns by the award-winning Leah McFall, is full of her trademark wit and daring. No subject is too sacred or small (leakproof pants, her cervix, Marie Kondo or royal wedding cakes). Stand-up comedian and writer Michèle A’Court finds her humour in similar places: “Telling jokes doesn’t necessarily speak to natural wit. We tell our stories.”

And she should know – she was named Comedian of the Decade at the 2010 NZ Comedy Awards and won the Funniest Column Award (NZ Comedy Guild) in 2015. Otago Daily Times columnist Liz Breslin will quiz A’Court and McFall about where they mine their funnies, the importance of tone and who makes them chuckle.
