Arj Barker. His show was so good I brought a signed DVD and that is saying something as I am watching my money. He was totally charming too and what more he is on Flight of the concords which I luv

Jimeoin - anyone who can make you laugh by being a washing machine gets my vote..and the eyebrows!!!

Would have to be the one and only Justine Smith. She is outrageous. My wife and I were going to have her perform at our wedding reception, but we chickened out!!

Well just like almost everyone else it has to be Dai Henwood. No-one can pole dance in public against a lamp post like that man! Here is a man that has turned making a complete arse of yourself into an artform!

I totally agree about jimeoin's eyebrows, but I have to say that Dai Henwood's dance moves would have to crack the toughest nut. Saw him last week at the Gala opener and he was fantastic!

The Return of the Jussi - for sure - Justine Smith. What great New Zealand talent the we've managed to claim back from the Aussies! Love it, love it, love it!!!

Well, Lonesome Buckwhips is definitely the most comedic name but my favourite Comedians are definitely Flight of the Conchords! Brett and Jermaine are hilarious and are that rare breed of comedian that make you laugh out lloud when you're at home watching them on TV.

I know someone else should be given a chance, but i think
Dai Henwood is awesome. He always gets me in stitches. He can say something ordinary like "butternut soup" and it makes me cry.
Marta Godden 4 years ago

Jimeoin for sure! You just can't go past that Irish/Aussie humor.

The award winner should be Justine Smith with her fast and smart wit! Never fails to have me in stitches - I love the way she describes circumstances in her life in such a hilarious way - great way to look at life!! She should definately win!
