TEDXDunedin - Lisa Scott

I

The best way to describe Lisa Scott is lively and energetic. When she returned from her travels in the Middle East in 2009 to discover all the jobs were gone, she decided to become a writer.

Her work has since received several awards for its insight and humorous perspective. Living out of a modest Dunedin home with her partner, the famed Economist, and a small cat, Lisa writes about life and love as she sees it in the Otago Daily Times, NEXT, North and South, and NZ Life & Leisure.

At TEDxDunedin, she poses the question: “Is satire dead?”

Woohoo on stage... 

Arrested, going to prison... Great way to kick start weight loss..

What is satire?

Connecting us with a personal story... 

Difference between satire and being a bogan...

Spellbound by the history of satire...

Fred Dogg as NZ satirist...

McPhail and Gadsby, a week of it... 

Are we paying attention enough to enjoy satire? 

Times before sniping behind our email address... Satire isn't dead.... But it is struggling...
