Billy T James was a very well known New Zealand comedian who starred on television from about 1981 to 1986. He was born on the 17th of January 1949 in a town called Cambridge and was brought up in Leamington. He later moved to Whangarei. Billy T sadly died on the 7th of February 1991 at a young age of 42 years old from a major heart attack.
Billy was a really funny guy, he made lots of skits. Some of my favourites are New Zealand History with Billy T, Billy T James learns Japanese and how to get a job with Billy T. Links are down the bottom if you would like to check them out.
I think he was successful because he was confident and could get up and do or say something without being scared. Also the classic kiwi accent makes it funny of course. One thing he also did was make fun of his own people maori? But the way he said it made it funny not offensive and people enjoyed it very much

Hi Nikau
ReplyDeleteBilly T was my all time favourite when I was growing up, he was pretty funny. You might want to take the text formatting off your blog post, so it reads within the post space rather than disappearing off the side of the screen. If you go back into edit mode and select your text, then look for a symbol with a capital T and a slash or line through it. That will remove the text formatting and then your text will fit on this page :)
Thanks for helping me and I have fixed it now from Nikau
