Comedian Angella Dravid talks prison life and how she makes her fear funny
BRIDGET JONES 10:16, Sep 07 2017
"I remember waiting to get strip-searched and one of the girls asked what I was in for. So I told her, 'I tried to kill my ex-husband', and she just kept laughing. It's very dark, but then you've got elevator music playing in the background. It was so surreal that it couldn't be real," she recalls. "But that starkness is what brings comic relief."

“[aussie taskmaster has] already reached a higher quality than TM NZ did in its first season” a bold statement considering angella dravid is one of the funniest people in the world
I don’t disagree with this! I’ll go as far as to say she sorta carried most of the season on her back… that’s not to say everyone else wasn’t funny, but she was just so much more entertaining. Maybe I ruined it by watching S2 first and having sky high expectations, though.

12. Lee's bleeped out song to the sexy tree or "----------"
11. Lee playing whatever that was on the tuba
10. Brynley humming a tune before turning herself into Gollum
9. Brynley playing We Are The Champions on the tuba
8. "cause she's a bad bitch, nananana"
7. "friends are like flowers in the garden of love"
6. *Flat voice* "Bangladesh"
5. "please don't talk about the wars or the child soldiers"
4. China We Are Great
3. "It's the musical episode, where we sing instead of talking"
2. "China, chiiiina, ChiiiiiaAaaaAaaaAnaaaa!" or Fuck the Western World We're China
1. "-a song about Libya!" *bangs guitar on table*

As someone who mostly grew up in new zealand, but isnt actually 'from' there, imo nz comedy tends not to land very well, especially to non-new zealanders. I have spent nearly 3/4 of my life there and i still dont like the comedy scene. It feels like its all based on shock value and seeing how offensive/crass you can be before someone calls you out on it, and thats just not my humor.
Hm I guess I can see what you mean. It's not that I hated all of it, there was quite a bit of good humour, from Angella Dravid particularly (I'm just on the second episode too, and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt bc it's not easy to find your footing when adapting a show and format from another country, takes a while)
But yeah all the "omg China has been in a lot of negative news because of covid it is so difficult to write something that's not offensive right now" thing was so overdone and just felt xenophobic, and after all that drama they did about it the songs were still full of offensive shit about the population and "controlling" the economy and whatnot. I do like that someone pointed out the irony of talking about Congo's child soldiers while dressed as a scout also. Idk it all rubbed me the wrong way and what made me even more uneasy was that this is just a very normalised way to talk about 'Eastern' countries so it didn't feel out of place within that environment.
I've heard good things about the second season tho let's see let's see. I do enjoy what Paul Williams did with the assistant role, very much
