  • Tall Poppy Syndrome & Patriarchal Femininity
    Tall Poppy Syndrome & Patriarchal Femininity: An Auto-ethnographic Investigation into New Zealand’s Female-identifying Comedians BY KATIE HILL A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Arts in Theatre Victoria University of Wellington 2021 - 2 - Abstract This practice-based and auto-ethnographic research project explores the correlation between Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS) and patriarchal femininity in the performances of female-identifying stand-up comedians in New Zealand. I identify ways TPS, as a patriarchal ideology, has an impact on the subconscious/and or conscious choices of New Zealand’s self-deprecating female-identifying comedians in contemporary performance. I have chosen to analyse TPS through an intersectional feminist lens, focusing on ways the historical construction of patriarchal femininity directly relates to the cultural phenomenon of Tall Poppy Syndrome. I aim to connect this relationship to the ways New Zealand female-identifying comedians ‘perform’ autobiographical comedy, as part of expected social and cultural conventions. As I want to investigate the impact of TPS in an exclusively New Zealand context, my research isolates its case studies to comedians who make comedy primarily for a New Zealand audience, discussing international comedians as a point of comparison. - 3 - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the invaluable guidance and support of my peers, friends and family. To my supervisor, Dr. Nicola Hyland - your counsel on my academic, practical and wellbeing needs was immensely helpful. Many of my anxieties were eased by your kind and understanding approach to teaching.

We are as proud of Ernest Rutherford, known as the father of nuclear science, as of our nuclear-free status. Early enthusiasm for radium and X-rays in the first half of the twentieth century and euphoria in the 1950s about the discovery of uranium in a West Coast road cutting was countered by outrage at French nuclear testing in the Pacific and protests against visits from American nuclear-powered warships.
