A writer, actor and comedian she is a triple threat on stage and screen. A graduate of the prestigious Toi Whakaari drama school, Hayley’s passion for performance has wowed audiences with comedy shows like Miss Fetcher Sings the Blues, Vanilla Miraka, Outsiders’ Guide and Just a Phase earning her an array of praise and accolades - including Best Newcomer at the NZ International Comedy Festival in 2012, the Chapman Tripp Theatre award for most promising female newcomer in 2013 and The People’s Choice award at the NZ Fringe 2014.
