Hopefully I can climb those hills with sounding out of breath! 🤣 I sound like a winded donkey.

Rhys Darby returns to New Zealand for two huge milestones - Spy

Rhys Darby is back in New Zealand.

Why is Kiwi comedy star Rhys Darby back in New Zealand?

Rhys Darby is returning from his base in Los Angeles for a double celebration over the next few weeks - his 50th birthday and a special event to mark his 25 years working as a stand-up comic.

“I’m home for my 50th birthday celebrations,” he reveals to Spy.

Darby hits the big milestone on March 21 and says he, his wife and manager Rosie are planning on a shared party with their family and friends.

A week later, Darby will be in proud parent mode as his eldest son Finn’s band, Great Big Cow, will be performing at The Whammy Bar on Karangahape Rd on March 27.

“So, as a cool dad, I’ll be there of course, with my band manager suit on,” he says.

There will be fun and laughter to have on Waiheke Island the following week too. Popular island spot Wild Estate Vineyard in Onetangi has secured Darby for an exclusive one-off New Zealand show with an intimate audience of only 200 tickets.

Punters can be sure Darby’s will be giving the native birds on the island a squawk for their money with his famous bird calls from his 2021 TV stand-up show Mystic Time Bird.

“The show is called ‘25 Years’ - it is a celebration of my stand-up career,” say Darby.

“I’ve hand-picked the best material from my five comedy specials, and I’ve also added some new stuff,” he divulges. “It’s all killer, so the audience can expect me having a blast, and so I’m sure they will too.”

Wild Estate has become the go-to live venue on Waiheke for comedy and live gigs; last month, the Jordan Luck Band rocked the vineyard, and comedians Nick Rado, Tony Lyall, Paul Douglas and Ruby Esther have all had successful stand-up nights there too.

Darby has been home several times over the last few years, whether to film with his mate Taika Waititi in West Auckland for the second season of their hit HBO Max show Our Flag Means Death in late 2022, or his Kiwi road trip with David Hasselhoff called Hoff the Beaten Track last spring.

Darby finished the year with aplomb, hosting the 51st International Emmy Awards in New York in November.

The production company for his road trip show, Stripe Studios, made headlines last month with the New Zealand Herald’s Media Insider column, penned by Shayne Currie, reporting Stripe for unpaid bills. The production company also filmed a travel-style show with US comedian Iliza Shlesinger. Currie reported the Netflix comedy star is applying to have Stripe Studios (Comedy) Ltd liquidated. Stuff followed up this story, reporting Hasselhoff was also owed money from the production company.

Darby politely had no comment on the state of his and The Hoff’s road trip show, but sources say Darby played a big part in getting as many of its Kiwi crew as he could paid by Stripe.

However, Darby did share that Hollywood has been rather wet and dull so far this year. “I have a few top-secret TV and film projects in development, which I am really looking forward to.”

“What I can reveal is: I’ve been involved in Mukpuddy’s awesome adaptation of Badjelly the Witch,” he says.

“I think it’s going to be so so good!”

Sunshine Sachs must've called in a LOT of favors to get so many famous names on board the Archetypes Podcast and the 40x40 project. Vanity projects that went... nowhere.

Without Sunshine Sachs, IMO it's highly unlikely that M will ever be able to reach the same level of celebrity access on her own.

you guys wanna see a sketch of my pretty furry OC?

This is Royal, Royal Lassie. She's a collie dog. She works as a model and comedian. She's asexual and in a romantic relationship with a raccoon guy whose name I forgot :P

Fun facts: she did ballet, soccer, and track and field as a pup, she can play a little bit of guitar, and if she was in a TV show, she would be voiced by Iliza Shlesinger. Some of her main interests are clothes and shopping, and she likes to sun herself on the beach!

[dear-indies]

another zionist for your list! iliza shlesinger, comedian/actor, has been spewing propaganda and attacking anyone (including long-time fans) that are pro-Palestine.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡

Hmm 5 things that make me happy..

• Listening and singing along to music, any kind I know the lyrics to, I'm not the best singer but it makes me so happy to sing and dance along. In the car, when I'm cooking, getting ready for the day, any time really

• Listening to/seeing Comedians perform. I LOVE comedy, and I think so many comedians are extremely talented and smart. Some of my favs include: Iliza Shlesinger, Tom Segura, Dan Cummins, Randy Feltface, and Kathleen Madigan

• baking, and sharing the treats I make with others. I tend to give gifts and do acts of service for the people love and care about and baking is an extension of that, I just like making people happy. Plus its fun and yummy to lick the batter off the whisks/spoons 😂😂

• Getting just a little high and rewatching my favorite movies, I know it’s a little silly but I still laugh at the same jokes and I just have such a great time with an old favorite. (Plus it’s legal in my state so woohoo)

• Spending quality time with friends and family, going out to bars or just fun activities with my closest friends, watching a movie and drinking wine with my grandma, doing make up and singing with my sister, I seriously treasure those moments!

Hope y’all liked getting to know me better! 😁♥️

Thanks for the ask @cassbearaus-1!! This was really fun to answer.

[spacelazarwolf]

Can I ask what comedian it was? I want to avoid that comedy special, fatphobic comedians are not what I wanna watch when I'm trying to laugh

it was iliza shlesinger, which was really disappointing because i used to like her stuff.

NEW EPISODE!!

In this candid and eye opening episode, Meghan breaks down the labels of “Bimbo” and “Dumb Blonde” and explores why brains and beauty in a woman have been historically pitted against each other. To delve deep, Meghan connects with Paris Hilton in a surprising and revealing conversation, as Paris opens up about the trope that defined her, how she at times played into it, and how she is now coming into her own.

Journalist Clare Malone also joins the conversation alongside comedian Iliza Shlesinger, as Meghan unearths who is really in on the joke.

Hammermith Apollo 6/12/23

I can't imagine anyone likes going to the Hammersmith Apollo; a full body search (whether you're going to see The Muppet Christmas Carol or a solo stand up) and water confiscation, in the hight of illness season, which turned into a water ban, when none was available inside on this particular night.

The name up in lights on the outside of the veune building read "ILIZA LIVE IN LONDON". As if just a first name was enough, like Beyonce, Kylie or Rihanna. In their cases, you know what they do and they are famous enough to go under just their first name. In this case, maybe it did work out for the best that only her fans knew because if it had "comedy night" displayed, you would may have had people coming along, taking a punt but not understanding anything, if not apart of that one social bubble this show was aimed at.

Of course, everyone here tonight knew the sign was for American comedian and actress, Iliza Shlesinger. And, whether or not it's because her second name may be difficult for some to pronounce on first glance, she could well be the most famous Iliza in their lives, as the £41 unsold seats at the rear of the circle had to be compensated by her charging £88.75 for a selfie to a number of fans who snapped up the opportunity and were patiently waiting at the front of the stage after the show.

Like the most successful comedians, Iliza has stuck within the same genre, so fans know that she will pick up where she left off in the previous tour/Netflix show - people are coming to see the act.

With a two day break since her last gig (in Amsterdam), Iliza appeared on other comedians' podcasts and posted Instagram partnerships with beauty companies to help promote her brand further in the UK; working on whatever she could whilst on the tour. As a final push for merch sales, she wore her tour tshirt onstage, as she stumbled over lines, mixed up words and restarted sentences. With no stage set design at all, like in her previous special, it soon became clear that the stand up performance itself came second to everything else in her day. Whether she looked at it as a promo trip or holiday, with an hour's gig as something to do in the evening, most comedians would have wanted to have stayed sharp and iron out the lines by jumping on at a comedy club on their nights off - Top Secret would have been perfect for her, as it's the exact younger crowd her material is for. I'm sure she doesn't really believe that her generalisations are about the majority of people; she knows they're just about the majority of her audience, which is why broader observational comedians like Michael McIntyre, Romesh Raganathern and Josh Widdicombe can sell out multiple nights, whist her appeal falls short of the venue's capacity.

On the surface, it may seem like she's stuck in the Stone Age, or still believing that all girls want to be Barbie who are wanting to impress a Ken... but judging by tonight's audiance, those ethics are still in existence. Being preached at, in the form of comedy, that you don't have to comply with this, is quite worrying and enlightening; that this ideology, created within this group, is not something relateable from the outside, and hasn't broken out into other genres of people, races or religions. They will, of course have their own definitions of expectations and maybe have their own comedians to act as their saviour from their own inventions too. But if Iliza does fix them, what would her next comedy show be about?

Since segregation has returned to London, and the "diversity quota" meaning that people from different cultures can only live and work together if they fit into the same box, tonight's show felt more like a social commentary of this backwards step, where everyone is being forced to be identical - and this may be true in the selection of major cities she's touring, and why London was the only UK date.

Oh, and Iliza's also noticeably pregnant, just to rub her success in Luisa Omielan's face, a bit more.

Simple, accessible, and endlessly inspiring, Curry Everyday is the must-have curry cookbook for beginners and experienced chefs alike.

Ever-Green Vietnamese by Andrea Nguyen

Although many people think of Vietnamese cooking as beefy pho and meat-filled sandwiches, traditional Vietnamese cooking has always involved a lot of plants and seafood and a little meat. In Ever-Green Vietnamese, Andrea Nguyen details how cooks in her home country draw on their natural resourcefulness and Buddhist traditions to showcase a wide array of herbs and vegetables in flavorful, comforting recipes.

Filled with the brilliant advice and exceptional teaching Nguyen is known for, the book offers recipes for flavor-boosting condiments and sauces (her incredible DIY vegan fish sauce), exciting ways to enjoy tofu, and dozens of vegetable-driven sides and mains, including a few that incorporate a bit of meat (many with vegetarian or vegan options). Home cooks will revel in Nguyen's ingenious recipes.

The Don't Panic Pantry Cookbook by Noah Galuten

As the world changes around us, we are constantly vacillating between two different versions of ourselves: the one who wants to be healthier and the one who wants to be excited, or comforted, by the food that we eat. We all want to eat "better," but what does that mean? This book is here to say: Don't panic.

Don't panic about learning how to cook; or environmental sustainability; or nutrition. Don't panic about what to make for breakfast or dinner or midnight snacks, because Noah Galuten has your back! In Noah's kitchen, trying really matters, perfection is overrated, and better is good enough. Noah gives you the tools to create kitchen staples and vegetable-and-bean-centric dishes (with just a little meat too) that will become the beloved, simple, everyday meals you will make over and over in your home.

Here are recipes for a "Chef Salad" with Cheddar Croutons and Probiotic Ranch; and three different versions of broccoli pasta (vegetarian, pescatarian or with rosemary-infused sausage) that you will put on weekly rotation. There are recipes for Noah's Instagram-famous Krauty Beans; a 30-second Vegan Tahini Dressing that will become your new favorite dip; a Miso Roast Chicken with Vegetables that you can prep in advance and leave in the fridge for several hours, or even a day, that makes dinner for your entire family using a single sheet pan. But there's also--for when you really need it--the fresh herbed panko-crusted Mozzarella Marinara that made Galuten's famously funny wife, comedian Iliza Shlesinger, break down in grateful tears. Here are your pantry staples for the future, to help you make cooking at home the tastier, more convenient, don't panic option.

The Green Barbecue by Rukmini Iyer

If prepping a meat-free bbq seems a challenge, think again: this collection of 75 flavour-packed and mouth-watering recipes is completely meat-free. Whether you're entertaining for vegetarian guests or you're preparing a flexitarian feast, these recipes are quick and easy to make, great for all the family and completely fuss-free.
