  • Summary

  • Episode 7: Leigh Hart is the founder of Wakachangi and the mind behind comedy shows like The Late Night Big Breakfast, Moon TV and Mysterious Planet.


    Leigh sheds some light on touring Europe as a musician, how his satirical newspaper was turned into a TV show, and how he trusts his instincts more than anything else when it comes to business. Plus, we hear about the time Leigh attacked a French policeman with a mop, how he ended up in a World War II prison, and what it was like spending a large chunk of his childhood in Indonesia, Hong Kong and Peru.


    You may know Leigh as one of the most iconic voices in New Zealand entertainment — from Hellers Sausages to Radio Hauraki — but after this chat, you'll see he's much more than a comedian.
