Joana Joy is Miss Tui Whanganui 2009

"Hot, intelligent, and funny? Yeah Right."

Best Newcomer nom(NZICF 2024) Joana Joy was crowned 'Miss Tui Whanganui 2009'. Fifteen years since winning the title and cheeky pash out the front of Countdown, she's been pondering all that's funny 'bout beauty, small town Kiwi culture, and attraction. Directed by Barnie Duncan (Fred Award winner) this is a time-traveling party of jokes and physical comedy that proves ya' can take the girl out of Whanganui, but ya can't take the Tui crown off her head.
