Eli Matthewson
Daddy-Short-Legs

One of New Zealand's best joke writers is back behind the wheel with a brand new hour of stand-up about the huge life-revelations that take place in shittiest of cars. Eli is almost old enough to be a "daddy", but his own father is stealing some of his thunder...

He'd mop the floor with most of the recent Live At The Apollo box tickers and panel show space blockers. ★★★★
