Hayley Sproull is a force of nature—whether it’s on stage, on screen, or behind the mic. A comedian, writer, actor, and radio host, she’s carved out a career that spans everything from theatre school to breakfast radio, with a few unexpected detours along the way. In this chat with Jimmy & Nath, Hayley reveals why she always knew she was born funny, how she navigated the chaos of New Zealand’s entertainment industry. She opens up about her early days in theatre school, re-enacting Shakespeare and the Holocaust (yes, really), and the moment she realized she wasn’t actually very good at acting. Hayley also dives into her love of stand-up, the art of imitating other comics before finding her own voice, and why she thrives in the high-pressure world of live radio. From swatting flies mid chat to getting cozy with Jason Momoa, co-writing a movie, and embracing the no-filter chaos of breakfast radio, this episode is packed with laughs, surprises, and a few cans of Raid.
