Description

Kiwi Jokers: The Rise and Rise of New Zealand Comedy by Matt Elliott. 'In the early seventies, John Clarke rose up to this challenge and started a nation chuckling with his portrayal of phlegmatic farmer Fred Dagg. Many others have followed in his wake, including the effusive Billy T. James, camp comics the Topp Twins, and the likes of Djs Jeremy Corbett and Kevin Black. Kiwi Jokers tracts the development of comedy in New Zealand - on the stage, the street, the big screen and the 'Box". From 'Buck House' to 'Skitz', cabaret to Theatres Sports, Goodbye Pork Pie to Chicken, comedy in New Zealand has blossomed into a major commercial enterprise. Matt Elliott's experience in the comedy scene has given him unprecedented access to key people in the industry, who tell of their efforts to bring a smile to the country's face. In this book, he draws together interviews, script excerpts and photographs to enlighten and entertain, providing an intriguing view of the funny business.'
