Jaqi Taimana is an imperfection guru with more than one intergalactic failure story to tell well and sell even weller. It's time to come first for a change!

Taking up the comedy reins again after 21 years of solo-parenting twins, and 13 years of full-time early childhood teaching, Jaqi is now hosting packed-out shows in Raglan, Te Awamutu, Whakatāne, Tauranga, Auckland and Hamilton and was nominated for Best Producer in the 2023 NZ Comedy Guild Awards. This highly engaging hour-long banquet of clever parodies and lethal stand-up comedy takes a comical, feminist look at first-hand failure and coming second in a success-obsessed world.

You’ll want to bear witness to this miraculous spiritual event and be part of the making of a unique Kiwi legend, one piece of screwed-up A4 paper at a time!

"Funny and warm, Jaqi is a comic singer/songwriter with unique stories to tell." Michele A'Court
