Li’i Alaimoana — ‘Rare View: The Weight...is Over!’
The Fringe Bar | 7 to 11 May
An injury early on in a promising rugby career diverted Li’i Alaimoana from sport to stand-up comedy. He tried it for a few months in 2011 before moving to Canada. A promising reception at an amateur comedy contest convinced him to keep going. In 2015 he was back in Wellington and building a reputation as a comic. Now with a Billy T nomination behind him, he presents his latest show. ‘Rare View: The Weight….is Over!’ shows a lighter and leaner Li’i. He’s left the old version of Li’i in the rear-view mirror and is looking ahead with a clearer windscreen, navigating the new speed limits.
