With a little bit of cash in hand from the work, Nick left his day job to pursue a goal of makingit on his own. After a year of scrapping together freelance jobs, and the odd comedy gig, Nick was recently awarded New Zealand’stop comedy prize - and is now ready to take on the world.Our logo now serves as a daily reminder that it takes hard work and perseverance to achieve great things, and more importantly, tohave fun and not take too seriously all the little things that don’t go quite right along the way.44
