When Ray O’Leary (Taskmaster NZ, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Best Show nominee Melbourne Comedy Festival) was born, winter changed to spring, a new star appeared in the heavens, and a double rainbow spontaneously appeared. With this auspicious start, it is no wonder he became leader of North Korea in 1994 until his untimely death in 2011. Despite this minor setback, he found time to bring you a whole new show.
