Timprovise

Morgan and Justin speak with Timprovise about his comedy show “The Kapa Haka Dropout,” in which he explores identity, Māori culture, personal history, and the humour found in feeling out of place while finding belonging. Tim discusses developing material rooted in vulnerability, mentorship from performers such as Heta Dawson and Brendan Green, and shaping an hour‑long narrative that balances emotional beats with comedic peaks. He also talks about his creative hobby making 3D‑printed figurines, his process for producing weekly designs, and the unexpected demand for some of his political and pop‑culture pieces.
