The Executive Board
The Comedy Guild's Executive Board contains six members who work voluntarily to represent the interest of members and meet regularly to discuss issues and opportunities for Guild members.
In 2023 the Guild also introduced a host of representative roles in addition to the existing regional representative roles. Candidates are welcome to apply for a representative role without joining the wider executive board. |
Currently we still have the following representative roles open for application:
- Maori & Pasifika Representative - South Island Representative - Lower North Island Representative To apply for any of these roles or connect with any or all of the Executive Board Members, email [email protected] |

Being part of both the comedy community and the LGBTQIA+ community means she is familiar with finding the funny in a tense situation.
