BIO
Bec is a New Zealand based comedian who is a regular support/opening act for Urzila Carlson and many of NZ's top comedians. She's a guest commentator on Radio Hauraki's Alternative Commentary Collective and had a stint on The Project as Whip Around reporter.
Carlson describes her as 'One of the funniest comics in New Zealand.'
Bec stormed onto the New Zealand comedy scene in 2017, using her own brutally honest and hilarious story-telling. Drawing on her colourful palette of life experiences, she paints a picture of life as it truly is: up and down, absurd, and bloody funny.
A natural performer, this Ashburton native was set to debut her one hour show 'Role Model' at the 2020 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and her other new show 'Y2K' at the 2020 New Zealand International Comedy Festival, but due to Covid 19, these festivals were cancelled.
Bec has a new show 'Happy Cabbage' which she debuted at the 2021 New Zealand International Comedy Festival in Auckland.
A New Zealand tour of the show begins in October 2021 with the goal to tour Australia and England in 2022, once Covid travel restrictions are lifted.
She was recently nominated for the following NZ Comedy Guild Awards;
During level 4 lockdown Bec filmed daily episodes of Bec Time Stories (stories from her five and six year old self) with help from Milo the rescue cat.
Bec set up her own comedy company Pop Up Comedy in 2017, and produces open mic and pro comedy nights around New Zealand.
Since graduating from University of Canterbury in 2006, where Bec studied English and Theatre and Film Studies, she has written, directed, produced and acted in a variety of comedy shows, short films, webisodes and plays.
In 2016 Bec was cast as the lead female in the NZ feature film Cade, alongside NZ comedians Brendhan Lovegrove and Jeremy Elwood.
