Billy T James
This week for homework we had to write about the great comedian of New Zealand, Billy T James. We had to write about what influence he had on New Zealand. Billy T James lived from 17 January 1948- 7 August 1991 in Waikato. In 1991 he had a heart attack. After he died NZ citizens made an comedy award for him. It was called the Billy T Award and the winners get a yellow towel instead of a trophy. In 2010 the Billy T James movie was released, it was called the Billy T:Te Movie and was a big hit.

BILLY T JAMES
Billy T James was a well known New Zealand comedian. He was incredibly talented and didn't mind making fun of his culture. This was a big part of Career pretending/ imitating his and others cultures. He also did a lot of covers from famous songs which were really funny. Comedy was only part of his career along with singing and acting. So we were very glad we got to look into his life a bit more. We got to watch some of his acts and they were really entertaining. Sadly he passed away in 1991 but his comedy still lives on until this day.
Watch him in action down below!!!
