Dinner Entertainment
Te Radar
With a string of awards to his name and one of the country 's
most recognisable hairstyles, Te Radar is one of the
country's bestloved comedians and media personalities.
Under his trademark strawberry -blond mop lurks an astute
mind that has created award-winning comedy shows,
documentariesand TV programmes for the past two decades.
Te Radar (real name Andrew Lumsden) discovered his talent
for making people laugh as a law student. He ditched law
(too much work )and took up drama (fewer lectures). Law's
loss was the punter's gain. Witty, friendly and well-informed,
Te Radar is a sought -after speaker, MC and debater, and
has hosted events ranging from the Red Bull Trolley Grand
Prix to Water NZ's annual Stormwater Conference and the
Axis Awards for the Communications Agencies Association of
New Zealand (CAANZ).
A self –titled 'opinionist' he is also a political and current affairs junkie, Te Radar is a regular on National
Radio's Nine to Noon show, providing a satirical review of the week and has won two Qantas Media
awards for his columns in the New Zealand Herald.
Combining his wacky sense of humour with his love of times past he 's written and is now performing
Eating The Dog, a multiaward -winning live showcase of New Zealand's lesser-known historical
characters.
No coward when it comes to confrontation, Te Radar has dodged bullets in East Timor at the height of
the conflict to produce an award -winning documentary, and faced up to gun-toting soldiers in the Middle
East before interviewing the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. And he turned Spartan for his top-
rating series Off the Radar, where he camped out in a field for ten months to experiment with living off
the land. He returned to the screen and smaller-scale sustainability in Radar's Patch, which won a
Qantas award for Best Information /Lifestyle Programme, and has just finished production on a new
series, Global Radar, which looks at New Zealand 's sustainability issues in a global context.
When he 's not being a war correspondent or entertaining the masses, Te Radar represents local
omedians on the New Zealand Comedy Trust board, directs theatre, and has written a book, Off The
Radar, based on his hugely successful television show and which is being adapted for radio.
His next TV project will take him into the Pacific, where he will discover New Zealand's connections with
Pacific nations and explore the challenges these small nations face. He will then strut his stuff for the
Auckland Theatre Company as the loathsome Mr Twit for their production of Roald Dahl 's hilarious book
The Twits.
After that he would quite like to have a rest between jobs that is.
