By: Ethan Sills In the four years since winning the Billy T Award, Angella Dravid has rapidly become one of New Zealand s most recognisable comedians. After appearances on Jono and Ben, Golden Boy, Creamerie, and, most notably, Taskmaster NZ – which she won – there are few local shows she hasn t shown up on yet.
One of Dravid s most notable characteristics that comes out often in panel shows or in lineups is her awkward, shy delivery, which has helped make her stand out against some of the larger than life figures in local comedy.
The Clean Plate café is the scene of a police investigation after evidence was found of a body thought to be missing teenager Mary Bastholm, a suspected victim of Fred West. Mary Bastholm worked at a sandwich shop, The Pop In, where The Clean Plate now stands, according to The Daily Mail Online. Books by Brian Masters and Gordon Burn state West was a regular at the eatery and he carried out work on the building s drains – though Rose West’s solicitor Leo Goatley believes West may have been laying floor there. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Goatley said: “I would think it very unlikely that Mary Bastholm was actually murdered or dismembered at the pop-in cafe.
