Tell Me Moir

1 - A life in comedy with Michèle A’Court

Tell Me Moir

Show Notes

From What Now to what next, today’s guest Michele A’Court is an indisputable icon of comedy and words in New Zealand. Many of us will remember Michele A’Court from her early days as a host of What Now in the 80s, but she has gone on to carve out a career for herself across a multitude of disciplines and mediums and has always been a role model for me of reinvention, diversification, the hustle and leaning into your gifts. From queen of the screen to Queen’s Honours, MIchele gives us the low down on a lifetime of jokes, joy and the juggle.

This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - oar.org.nz and made thanks to the support of NZ on Air.
