The New Zealand International Comedy Festival returns next month, but for the first time in four years it's a truly International one again. After Covid struck in 2020, the Festival carried on, but with mostly home-grown talent. Actually, what surprised audiences was how strong that talent proved to be. But this year we're back at full strength. 150 comedians - local and interantional - over 600 performances in Auckland, Wellington and elsewhere. Simon Morris is joined by Comedy Supremo, Scott Blanks from Auckland's Classic Comedy club, to check out some of his picks this year.
