Justine Smith
Having won the Billy T Award, the NZ Comedy Guild Best MC (three or four times) and the NZCG Best Female Comedian (like five or six times, losing count), Justine has established herself as one of the best bloody stand ups we have here in New Zealand.
Justine does not suffer fools. No she doesn't. Those who know Justine will readily testify to the fact the she is one of the most honest comics you're likely to meet. This combined with her razor sharp wit and biting commentary makes her one of the best comics around.
Justine is a regular face on our screens, THREE's 7Days, The Project, TVNZ's Have You Been Paying Attention, along with many stand-up shows such as AotearoHA, A Night At The Classic, After Hours, Stand Up Aotearoa, and many Comedy Galas – which she hosted in 2021. 2022 has also seen her as a stand out on Taskmaster NZ.
A leading light of New Zealand Comedy, Justine is just as comfortable in a theatre or a local bar in the country, one of the best.
Courtney Dawson
Courtney (Ngāti Kurī, Waikato-Tainui) stumbled into her first comedy gig in 2018, and since then has been traveling round the motu, spinning yarns and breaking hearts.
After winning the NZ Raw Comedy Quest and the Best Newcomer Award at the NZ Comedy Guild Awards in 2019, she made her professional debut with a a sold out double act show in the 2021 International Comedy Festival. She was awarded Outstanding Comedy Performance in 2022 by the Auckland Fringe Festival, won Best Female Comedian at the 2023 NZ Comedy Guild Awards, and this year was recognised by the NZ International Comedy Festival who awarded her Best Newcomer for her first solo show with the festival. She continues to be an in demand comedian, gigging regularly round the country.
Courtney also maintains a solid presence on NZ television, having co-hosted two seasons of Rags are Riches, appearing on Have You Been Paying Attention? (NZ), Celebrity Treasure Island, and more recently occupying the 'news desk' on Paddy Gower Has Issues.
