I've heard a few people talk about how allegations of sexual harassment against Louis C.K. were hard to process because they liked his show. Luckily for those people, there are a whole lot of other shows out there; in fact, I'd argue shows by, for and about women are fresher, funnier and more interesting. Insecure, The Good Place, Search Party, Broad City, Funny Girls, Fleabag, Better Things and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend are all excellent comedy series. There are also plenty of stand-up specials you should stream, with Leslie Jones, Jen Kirkman, Ali Wong, Maria Bamford, Tig Notaro, Ellen DeGeneres and Margaret Cho all on Netflix. That's barely scratching the surface.

When Feist's album Metals was released in 2011, I was a 16-year-old kid who couldn't buy a Laneway ticket. Four months later, after listening to Metals over and over all summer, I heard nothing but incredible things about her set, which apparently included an air-guitar interpretation of How Come You Never Go There after the sound cut to her mic and guitar. Feist returned with her stunning album Pleasure earlier this year, and on Saturday she's back for her first headlining show in New Zealand. I haven't been this excited for a concert in a long time; the Powerstation will be perfectly suited to Feist's sound, and she's apparently at the top of her performing game.
