Jaqi Taimana: The Coming 2nd
$11.00 – $13.00
Jaqi Taimana is a self-made failure expert who's standing up to the patriarchy, colonisation and orthodox religion armed only with audacity and an acoustic guitar.
Taking up the comedy reins again after 23 years of solo-parenting twins and 13 years of full-time early childhood teaching, this kuia Karen reckons It's time to come first for a change!
A highly engaging hour-long banquet of clever parodies and non-stop punchlines, The Coming 2nd takes a comical, feminist look at first-hand failure and how it feels to keep coming second in a winner-takes-all world. You’ll want to bear witness to the testimony of a uniquely Kiwi imperfection guru - one piece of screwed-up A4 paper at a time!
"an awesome show with lots of interaction" - sound tech at Whāngarei Fringe venue
"Jaqi's performance at the Southland Musicians Club left the audience wanting more. She won the audience over with her natural wit and charm and we are looking forward to catching her again when she returns to this part of the world". Trevor Daley (Southland Musicians Club)
"Funny and warm, Jaqi is a comic singer/songwriter with unique stories to tell." Michele A'Court
"Very funny – my pick for a bright future in comedy.” Brendhan Lovegrove
