RIP Dai Henwood

The Herald reports:

Beloved Kiwi comedian, author and advocate Dai Henwood has died after his six-year cancer battle.

He was 48.

Henwood, known for his regular appearances on Kiwi shows like 7-Days and Taskmaster, was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in 2020 and went public with the news in 2023.

There are two types of comedians. Those who are funny, and those who are not. Henwood was in the former camp. He was extremely talented, and from all accounts a great person.

He comes from an arts background, with his parents being a huge part of the success of Circa Theatre in Wellington. It is so sad he died so young.

Thought go out to his family, friends and colleagues.
