And Crack That Pack returns with a hazelnut twist. Keep up with all things TOFOP and more here

Comedian, Michelle Brasier is very busy and very interesting and she has a book out and she joined Wil to kick it all around. "When everyone was dying, everyone clams their buttholes up and doesn't know how to talk or look at me. The people who will laugh at me are the people who are dying. People who will go, 'yeah it's all f**ked and isn't it pretty funny, but isn't also really beautiful?' And I think I wanted to make that and offer that because I didn't have it".

What started as a way to pass time and connect with other comedians during lockdown has turned into a brand new ABC comedy quiz show. NZ comedian, Guy Montgomery turns the traditional spelling bee on its head and it's so good, Charlie's wife watched it the whole way through, and that's pretty good considering she doesn't normally watch that sort of thing.

NZ-based comedian, David Correos brings a foot-stomping conversation. His act has been compared to Jackass but his performance and outlook is much more than that.

We reckon David's the next big thing and not just becasue he's not afraid to perform naked or eat pet food.
