Kiwi comedy Kid Sister has a new addition, with an award-winning comedian joining its stars. TVNZ’s identity comedy Kid Sister is coming back for a second season with comedian Bailey Poching adding to the chaos, as the fourth wheel to the repartee Simone Nathan, Paul Williams and Roxie Mohebbi created two years ago. Nathan wrote and produced the semi-autobiographical comedy, which is about her character Lulu navigating her train-wreck ride through life as a young Jewish woman dating across a religious divide, with love interest Ollie played by Williams.

Poching (Ngāti Whatua ki Kaipara, Sāmoa) was raised in Wakefield in the UK, and since living in Aotearoa has become a regular on 7 Days and took out Best Debut at last year’s NZ International Comedy Festival , alongside Anthony Crum, for their outrageous duo show Hot Filthy Garbage!. He tells Spy his character Raymond on Kid Sister is a struggling actor and improviser flatting with Lulu, Ollie and Sina (Mohebbi). “Ray is endearingly passionate and naive in a way that I think is a charming foil to Lulu’s first foray into the world of Auckland flatting,” Poching tells Spy .



Poching says he couldn’t have been more stoked to join an awesome cast that also includes Amanda Billing, Jeff Szusterman, Ari Boyland and Joe Nathan. Poching is a big fan of Billing who, along with Szusterman, plays Lulu’s parents Keren and Siggy Emanuel. This season has Lulu struggling to find her place in the world and she returns to lyin.
