David Correos
Winner of the 2016 Billy T Award, David has quickly become a powerhouse of New Zealand comedy. He has a uniquely hectic, boundary pushing style which has made him an audience favourite whenever he performs.

Already all over our TV screens - THREE's 7Days, AotearoHA, TVNZ's Stand Up, Laughs Unleashed, Pax Assadi's Comedy Mixtape, and regular appearances with Viva La Dirt League - David is hitting the big time.

After his outstanding performances on Taskmaster NZ and a nomination for the prestigious Best Show Fred Award at the 2021 New Zealand International Comedy Festival for his show David Correos Is David Post Office, he continues to establish himself as one of New Zealand's best.

Donna Brookbanks
Donna is the proper business. A founding member of the incredibly successful Snort, 2018 and 2019 Billy T Award nominee, and fast becoming an absolute legend in the industry - Donna has it all. Accomplished isn't the right word, it's more than that.

She's appeared on screen on THREE's 7Days, and TVNZ's Best Foods Christmas Comedy Gala, along with loads of comedy acting credits from Funny Girls to The Breaker Upperers.
