The New Zealand International Comedy Festival begins this week - and one Kiwi comic is set to make a return to the stage.
Actress, writer and Billy T nominee Alice Snedden has been making waves overseas, having written and directed international hit series Starstruck with Rose Matafeo.
She says it's been difficult returning to the world of stand-up after four and a half years.
"You have an expectation of how good you'll be at it - and then you have to measure up against the reality. It's like if I hadn't exercised for four and a half years and then I'm like - now I'll go run a marathon."
