This week’s guest is Māori comedian Kura Turuwhenua. She doesn’t have to try to be funny, she just is. Kura’s mind is wonderfully abstract, allowing her to channel the lived and imaginative through her craft. Our mate shares how stand-up led her to recently sketch writing for Only In Aotearoa alongside an all wāhine team. Plus, she settles for us: hāngi or boil up? Follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/islandrootsaucklandways">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@islandrootsaucklandways">TikTok</a>!See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
