It seems like only a year ago that it was only one month til comedy festival... oh wait, it was only one year ago. I'm not used to doing shows in back to back comedy festivals, so you could say that this year I've had to write a new show twice as fast! Which has been aided by the momentum I'm carrying from last year's show. I really think I'm going to have a lot of fun with my show this year and I'm already having a lot of fun writing and testing it. This year I will perform a Wellington season of my show, something I haven't done since festival 2009 - so, for me, two shows ago. But unlike 2009 I will do my Wellington season after my Auckland season, so I will go into my Auckland season cold, but not as cold as I went into my show last year because that was my first show in two years!!

My new show is called GSOH in which I explore what a good sense of humor is by looking at how my own sense of humor works, and how I write my material. A popular question I get asked is, how do I think of my material? Trying to answer this has made me look at where my inspiration comes from and how I nut out material after it has struck.

GSOH opens in Auckland on Tuesday 8th May, 7.15pm, and runs for five nights at Q Theatre.
In Wellington Wednesday 16th - Saturday 19th May, 10pm @ Cavern Club.
