THE BARONESS
Hayley Sproull
Hayley Sproull brings her brand new outrageous hour of comedy to Nelson Arts Festival.
Sky-rocketing towards 40, with a happily untenanted womb and a life of love, leisure and lingus, Hayley Sproull feels less barren, and more… Baroness.
She makes martinis, not milk. She changes her mind, not nappies. She wants durries, not diapers. Sure, her boobs are sliding groundward and she’s Googled FACELIFT TURKEY more than she’ll admit, but Botox placates for now. Hayley Sproull is The Baroness.
From Taskmaster, Have You Been Paying Attention?, 7 days, NZ Comedy Gala, and ZM’s Fletch Vaughan and Hayley, Hayley Sproull brings her brand new outrageous hour of comedy to Nelson Arts Festival after sold out shows in Wellington, Auckland, and Chirstchurch.
