Liv started performing comedy in NYC (that’s in America) and after returning made the move from her hometown Christchurch to Auckland where her career as a standup comic is growing faster than a duckling in November.

Already there have been regular appearances on THREE’s’s 7Days, TVNZ’s Have You Been Paying Attention?, breakthrough performances on the 2021 and 2022 Best Foods Comedy Galas, as well as Laughs Unleashed. All this culminated in hosting her own show on TVNZ+ Cubicle Confessions. It’s clear there are a lot of folk that are
paying attention as Liv delivers comedy that people identify with, and just the right tonic we need. Or is that gin for a classy AF cocktail?

“Having won Best Newcomer at the 2019 festival, McKenzie is clearly a star on the rise, after witnessing a full half hour from her and marvelling at her confident, exuberant delivery, I wouldn't be surprised to see bigger successes from her in the festivals to come.” – NZ Herald

“McKenzie is a very compelling and charismatic performer, fully in control of her powers, garnering laughs with a relatable observation, whimsical tangent or an engaging story. With performances like these, there’s little wonder why she is often described as “one to watch.” – The Speakeasy
