Remembering Dai Henwood

Today we’re revisiting our conversation with the incredible Dai Henwood, who has sadly passed away after living with colon cancer for six years.

One of New Zealand’s most accomplished stand-ups enjoying success around the world and countless awards, Dai was also a regular fixture on TV screens across the country with 7Days, Taskmaster and host of Dancing With The Stars.

In this episode Dai shared his vulnerability with us all through his cancer diagnosis, and you’ll see his infectious positivity and the magnetic charm that pulled strangers and friends into his orbit. Nothing made him happier than making people laugh, and he shared that gift his whole life. I found him enormously uplifting to talk to, and if you’re struggling with your own health right now, I hope you find his outlook as inspiring as I did.
