This week’s guest is Tongan comedian Opeti Vaka.

He lives in Foxton, a rural town tucked away in Manawatū - where there’s more fish and chip shops than Islanders. He did his first stand-up show in 2018 and in 2019, won the Wellington Raw Comedy Quest. Until Opeti reaches a point where he can comfortably live off comedy mahi, the grind’s on for his family.
