SNAP
Snap is an award winning comic and one of the most prolific performers in Aotearoa. A four time winner of Best MC in Christchurch despite dropping out of highschool, Snap is a much better comic than his teachers or parents ever predicted.
Early reviews of his life choices included things like “You could work in a box factory”, and, “Yeah I guess a two cent raise is easier than replacing you”.
But look at him now… he’s a pretty good comedian, as you can tell from this out of context quote from an average review, "Clearly a talented comic" - Theatreview. And his jokes have been shown to be pretty good too, "Leaves us roaring with laughter" - ArtMurmurs. Here's something another pretty good comedian had to say about him, "Snap is unique piece of work. He is a very funny man with a very silly name. 10/10 would Snap again." - Jordan Raskopoulos, The Axis of Awesome.
