Opening next week in Auckland at TAPAC. The Tempestuous. “Incredibly clever” RNZ. An hilarious comedy musical filled with songs, dance, a lutulele, the great Sicily tart baketh off and a whole lot of sword jokes. Less Swifty more witchy! #shakespeare #swifty #musicaltheatre #aucklandnz #comedy

So @aucklandfc.bsky.social is this job playing less than minimum wage? Which is illegal methinks? I think your boss has a bob or two. Or is this a misprint? #fortheloveoffootball

Had a great time chatting with Mr John Willoughby (aka Bronwyn Turei) all about her fleshy self for Showy Ovaries. Spoiler alert she’s resilient AF and just as honest. Was amazing to hear all about her journey. Nga mihi e hoa.

I had a lot of fun doing this poem at WOMAD in response to some classic right wing bullshit I heard on the radio. #wokeaf #wokeywokewoke #wokester
