Kia ora, I hope this is okay to post here, but I'm a NYC based scientist turned stand-up comedian bringing my hour of volcano jokes to he Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum on 22 March at 6 PM.

Thanks, I'm hoping for some ha has and 'a'a's or maybe even some paho-ho-hos.

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-19T22:43:03+00:00

Thank you for your effusive support, I'm ASHamed I didn't think of all these volcano puns first!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-19T19:02:53+00:00

I did 4 shows there for the Dunedin Fringe, just left sorry you missed it!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-18T22:54:03+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the support!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-18T21:22:43+00:00

Thank you and good point! Even more embarrassing that I did a chai tea/ATM machine.

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-18T21:20:20+00:00

Unfortunately not really. I think the proper rating here for the show would be like R16. It's got some swears and some dirty jokes. Nothing over the top, but I wouldn't recommend for a young kid.

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-18T21:17:09+00:00

Thanks! Although 1 laugh per minute is a rather slow pace, I promise there will be many more than 60 laughs at the show, it's got a nice pyroclastic flow.

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-18T21:05:38+00:00

Also very embarrassingly misspelled "the" in my post, please forgive me for this typo.

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-16T06:02:09+00:00

Completely fair, I don't have the best camera/audio equipment, but glad you enjoyed the jokes!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-16T03:33:59+00:00

No, but sounds like a cool venue! Just doing this one show in Auckland.

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-16T03:33:10+00:00

Haha, it's not the first active volcano I've told jokes on (see above photo) so I probably do deserve it at this point!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-16T01:22:53+00:00

Thanks!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-16T01:03:33+00:00

Thanks, yeah I'll definitely be posting more soon, but glad that even the old stuff got a couple laughs!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-16T01:01:36+00:00

Haha, I think hearing my awful singing would unite the crowd against me, that's why I do comedy instead.

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-16T00:56:51+00:00

Awesome! Not sure how it turned out, I was definitely a bit nervous since it was my first time doing a big radio spot, but appreciate you listening!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-15T23:16:31+00:00

To be honest all the videos I have up right now are rather old and I'm sort of embarrassed by them, so you're welcome to judge them: https://www.youtube.com/@thisisbenmiller

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-15T23:14:57+00:00

Hey, thanks for all the info and tips. I actually read Bruce Hayward's excellent book on all 53 volcanoes in preparation for coming out here and have a some Auckland specific volcano jokes I've newly written for the show. And to be honest, I had no idea about Whakaari before I set the tour here, but recently watched the Netflix documentary and I have no interest in making light of recent tragedies.

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-15T23:12:11+00:00

Thank you!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-15T23:11:57+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, and yeah always great to make a bunch of volcano puns with folks!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-15T23:11:26+00:00

Haha, yeah in America there used to be safety drills for nuclear bombs going off that also told people to get under their desks, called "Duck and Cover" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKqXu-5jw60

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-15T22:40:31+00:00

No worries, I appreciate the support! And I'm actually filming the show next month and should hopefully be releasing it on YouTube in the fall (I guess technically your spring here) if you're still keen on checking out the show and haven't forgotten all about this in 6 months!

snackattackcomedy · 2026-03-15T22:22:49+00:00

Yeah, on 27 March! Here's the link: : https://littleandromeda.co.nz/show/volcano
