“They say 'you are what you eat'. Well then I must be the sexiest Peanut Slab out!”

Wellington's own Maori power feme comedienne. Described as a loud, proud Diva, sensual and witty.

A natural with characters aplenty in her repertoire with great takes on race relations, bodily mis- functions, Gastric Bypass surgery, Maori politics, Diva drama's and growing up in working class State housing when it was flash! She premiered in 2011 documentary series “I know a Sheila Like that”, Maori Television.

“I'm an urban Maori, identified with this long before John Tamahere. I didn't grow up riding bare back on a horse across whanau land. Grew up in a State House. We were flash, because we had a Beer Garden before they were known AND we had Venetian Blinds!”

Parekotuku is a larger than life Maori Wahine nestled in the big city lights of Wellington. By day Parekotuku is the National Director for Maori Development with Wellington Stopping Violence and by night a glamorous Comedienne Diva. Dedicated to the issue of domestic violence and bringing light to the issue but in contrast, a committed comedienne who believes that the funniest people are the ones who can laugh at themselves.
