Billy T Award-winning comedian Kura Forrester is in for an eventful few months.

Kura Forrester recently wrapped up a last-minute performance at the Billy T Jams comedy showcase after a nominee was unable to appear- and she's got more gigs coming.

She'll be returning to the Comedy Festival for the first time since taking home the Billy T award in 2019 and will be headlining Maori Comic Relief to raise money for the victims of Cyclone Gabrielle.

Kura Forrester says she hasn't done much stand-up since winning her Billy T Award, as her TV appearances on 7 Days and Shortland Street have been a bigger priority.
