mrs.peacock


Comedy-rock duo mrs.peacock (Jarrod Baker and Dave Smith) formed in 2000 and quickly became cult favourites on the Wellington comedy scene with their killer combination of sweet melodies and filthy lyrics.

The duo's reputation for offensiveness garnered them the "most offensive gag" gong at the NZ Comedy Guild Awards in 2005, and in 2006 they took out the same category at the Wellington Comedy Awards.

It's not all filth, however - mrs.peacock also do a nice line in musical parody and consider love songs a particular specialty. You know, for the ladies. What's more, they were the winners of the prestigious Billy T Award for 2007.

If you haven't caught mrs.peacock before, you're in for a treat. And if you have you'll probably be in the front row, singing along.
