Auckland Daze(2011)

Auckland Daze is a spoof comedy following four struggling entertainers—a model, a stuntman, a dwarf performer, and a stand-up comedian—as they pursue fame in Auckland's tiny entertainment scene. The series stars local talent including Millen Baird, Jennifer Ward-Lealand (Xena: Warrior Princess), Natalie Medlock (Shortland Street), and Glen Levy, a stuntman once ranked by National Geographic as one of the world's most dangerous men. The show blends comedy with interactive elements, allowing viewers to watch, like, and share episodes directly on Facebook and TVNZ OnDemand. After each episode, audiences are invited to share their thoughts, creating a participatory experience that extends the humor beyond the screen. Auckland Daze captures the absurdity of chasing stardom in a city where the entertainment industry is barely big enough to sustain the dreamers within it.
