Podcasting

I am in a small scattering of podcasts - ranging in styles, content and length (and I may or may not have more in the pipeline). You can hear me on: 

Reviews and the like

"Munn is a beautiful singer...I will be coming again for Munn’s warm personality, dedicated preparation and performance, talented singing and acting and her wicked sense of humour..."

-Theatreview, Is it off?

"With her debut NZICF hour, Mo Munn is bringing a frantic, fast-paced show with Is it Off?, a show that draws upon the dozens of talents she’s got up her sleeve. There’s so much going on in this show, from singing to comedy to improv to licking, you’ll never get bored watching it... She jabs and slices at her audience and draws laughs instead of blood.... Thematically it's perfect"

-Wellyott, Is it off?

"When Mo Munn is on point in Is it Off? her show goes off in very good way. It deserves to travel far and wide, as long as the oven is up for that."

-Theatreview, Is it off?

"This is a seriously strong first play. It makes the personal political, and examines our relationship with the form. It has something to say, and it not only says it, but examines it with nuance, perspective, and heart. Mo Munn, improviser, comedian, producer, and playwright - well-earned.

-Artmurmurs, Oversharer

 

“The subject matter and performance is achingly relatable, her voice is gorgeous (so is she - inappropriate comment, sorry)… The theatre was packed and the audience gave a standing ovation; the show deserves both of these, every night of the run.”

– Wellington Reviews, Oversharer

"Mo is unashamedly autobiographical"

- Theatreview, Muunboot Show
