Dai Henwood is one of New Zealand's most well-known comedians.

He has toured around the world and has been on our screens for more than a decade with 7 Days, Family Feud, Dancing with the Stars and this year's season of Taskmaster NZ.

This year he went public with a very personal battle - that he's been fighting bowel cancer.

As part of that he is hosting a live-to-air comedy show tonight to raise funds for the Cancer Society - Dai Henwood joined Mike Hosking in the Newstalk ZB studio.
