Biography
Angella Dravid is a New Zealand stand-up comedian, writer and actress. She is of Samoan-Indian descent, and has lived in Oman, Australia, the UK, and New Zealand. She initially attended an open mic night to get over her anxiety at working customer service facing jobs and her fear of public speaking, and continued to pursue stand-up comedy after her sets were successful. In 2017, she decided on showbusiness, and perhaps writing a drama or serial based on her experiences; upon her choosing, she turned her thoughts of being in an abusive relationship into a show called Down the Rabbit Hole, which played the New Zealand International Comedy Festival (NZICF). For her performance Dravid won the 2017 Billy T Award, an accolade that recognises up and coming comedy performers.
