Hoani Hotene: Has Never Struggled, But Did Get A Couple Concussions

Hoani Hotene is a lovely, lovely boy from NZ. Sat down to interview him at The Classic Comedy Club in Auckland a few weeks ago and he was incredibly insecure about not having 'enough' trauma or proper 'struggles' but we finally managed to find some damage to talk about coz he did once get a very severe concussion. Fun chat! We talked about his growing up Maori while presenting 'white', his comedy journey in NZ and now Australia, bombing a corporate, his failure to be diagnosed with anything, his fears for the future and FINALLY some actual damage in that story of the concussion. It's a good chat. Hoani has shows on sale in Dunedin, Christchurch & Melbourne.
