Famous as Tina from Turners, Bubbah, the comedian and reality star, brings silliness to serious life questions.

- BY KARL PUSCHMANN

Living the dream

In comedy, timing is everything. And there's been something undeniably funny about comedian Bubbah announcing she's relocating to Samoa while on the publicity trail hawking her new TVNZ+ series, Don't.

This personal news has dominated headlines and buried the very thing she's supposed to be promoting. Ba-dom-ching? I don't hear TVNZ's execs laughing...

Ask her what she's most excited about as launch day approaches, and her doco-series doesn't get a look in.

"Packing up and moving me and my dog Friday to Samoa to live the island life," she replies. "Waking up to the beach, living off the land and looking after our plantation."

This leaves it to others to talk about her show. Don't follows the 28-year-old comedian, born Sieni Leo'o Olo, as she explores the big, scary life topics faced by those rapidly approaching their 30s and the younger generation coming up behind them.
