Saturday Laughs with Joe Daymond and Lesa Macleod-Whiting

Saturday Laughs returns to Petone, with another line up of top Kiwi comedy talent

With Joe Daymond
From his viral online skits during lockdowns to owning his own production company, West Park, that recently saw him write, direct and star in Bouncers, picked up by the famous American cable channel Comedy Central, this local comedian has gone international. Joe Daymond has also competed in TVNZ’s Celebrity Treasure Island, popped up on comedy shows like Have You Been Paying Attention? and 7 Days, created the Māori TV show, Rags Are Riches, hosted a podcast SHXT TALK, was nominated for 2018’s NZ Comedy Guild awards, sold out his own shows on debut at the NZ and Melbourne Comedy festivals and is officially the youngest comedian to sell out Sky City (twice). Joe Daymond, still in his twenties, is relatable to the core, attested by his stand up, film-making, and speaking truthfully and humbly on how he got here.

And Lesa Macleod-Whiting - 2025 Billy T Award nominee
Lesa is a Wellington-based writer, improviser and comedian. She has been a regular on the Wellington improv scene since 2016 and began doing stand-up in July 2020, going on to nab the Runner Up spot at the Wellington Raw Comedy Quest. She has a penchant for characters, accents and fast-paced silliness.
