By: Ethan Sills There s a big difference between being funny on Twitter and funny on stage. It s easy for some (certainly not me) to fire out the odd quip from time to time and rake in the likes, but it s a big leap from 120 characters to putting together a full hour-length show.
Audrey Porne has been one of New Zealand s Twitter comedy darlings for a few years now and has enjoyed viral success for some time – barely hours before her show premiered on Thursday night, a friend in Melbourne was sharing one of her jokes on Facebook.

Trevor Wilson is calling for Auckland Council to take action against bottle stores in South Auckland that continually flout its bylaw with signs advertising liquor in the community.
Wilson is a member of Auckland alcohol pressure group Communities Against Alcohol Harm (CAAH).
Auckland Council s 2015 signage bylaw controls the signs that can be displayed at shops and other businesses. It limits the number, size, coverage, and placement of them, including window signs and sandwich boards.
Paul Tripp and J.D. Greear said that identity is the “number one issue” facing the Church today and challenged pastors to have “joyful courage” while speaking biblical truth to a generation that has “abandoned these fundamental categories.”
May 14, 2021 THE Covid-19 vaccine acceptance among senior citizens (Group A2 in the vaccination prioritization) in Central Visayas has improved, the Department of Health (DOH) 7 reported.
Dr. Mary Jean Loreche, DOH 7 spokesperson, said as of Thursday, May 13, a total of 606,444 senior citizens in the region had already registered for the Covid-19 vaccination program.
This is about 30,000 more than the number of registered senior citizens on April 20, which was only 572,626, said Loreche in a press briefer on Friday, May 14.
Majority of the individuals who registered for vaccination are from Cebu Province (168,832), Bohol (155,918) and Negros Oriental (128,025).
Of the registered individuals, 22,499 elderly have already received the Covid-19 vaccine.
