Fresh off his first ever national tour, rising comedy star Joe Daymond has been touted as

New Zealand’s “new big thing”.

Originally from Wainuiomata, the 24-year-old Maori-Fijian has over 100,000 followers across his social media accounts. He uses his platform to both entertain the masses and speak out and educate against racism.

More recently he has written for hit TV duo Jono & Ben, and sold out his own shows at both the New Zealand and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals.
