Death's not usually a topic for a comedy show, but Shoshana McCallum's managed to turn it into something darkly funny and compassionate.

She's an award-winning screenwriter, and one of the creators of the international Emmy Award-winning show INSiDE - which starred Kiwi Morgana O'Reilly and was filmed during Covid lockdown.

Shoshana's also got writing credits on a host of popular shows: Westside, Creamerie, My Life is Murder and most recently Madam.

She's about to take the stage for the New Zealand International Comedy Fest with a show she debuted last year during the Auckland and New Zealand Fringe festivals called 'Merely Beloved' - which explores love, loss and life after death.
